Jack Wilshere has returned to full training at Arsenal, with the midfielder looking to make his return to action soon.

The England star suffered a frustrating 2011-12 campaign, and has not played for the Emirates Stadium outfit since featuring in a friendly against New York Red Bulls in July 2011.

However, after rehabilitation the star is finally back training with his Gunners team-mates, which has come as great news to Arsene Wenger.

“We are so pleased that Jack is back in full training. It’s been 14 months and that’s a long time for someone at his age. It’s an eternity, but it’s great news,” Wenger told the club’s official website.

“We have to give him a few training sessions to see how he copes and responds to it. That’s the delicate, sensitive stage – to choose when to bring him in and out.

“We’ll have to handle that day-by-day,” the French coach concluded.

Wilshere rushed back his return last season and suffered a recurrence of his initial cruciate injury and as such Arsenal will look to blood him back into action slowly.
