Twitter Reacts to News of Jack Wilshere Injury Setback

As reported by the Mirror, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday that Jack Wilshere will not be fit for Saturday's game against Stoke City, as was planned, after suffering a setback in his recovery from a fractured fibula.

It's a bitter blow for both England and Arsenal and their fans, who might feel slightly robbed of Wilshere's talents given the midfielder's history with injuries.

He hasn't featured in a competitive game for the Gunners this season and was recently named in Sky Sports' most injured Arsenal XI of the 21st century:

He has spent almost three full years out through injury during his professional career to date, which meant some Arsenal fans were not exactly stunned by Thursday's news:

"

Is Jack Wilshere made out off polystyrene and held together by chewing gum?

Arsene on Wilshere : ''He is progressing slowly. Unfortunately he won't be available for Saturday.'' Hmmm that statement sounds familiar.
