Wilshere to miss start of season

Jack Wilshere will not return from injury until at least October, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed.

Gunners boss Wenger had been unwilling to set a comeback date for the England midfielder, who has already been out for a year with ankle and knee problems.

However, speaking ahead of Arsenal's final match of their Asia tour in Hong Kong on Sunday, Wenger said: "Hopefully, we will get Wilshere back playing for October."
