Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere ruled out of Anderlecht clash

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League tie at home to Anderlecht due to illness.

The 22-year-old missed the team's 3-0 win over Burnley in the Premier League on the weekend with a knee injury.

While failing to reveal whether Wilshere has recovered from his knee problem, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Monday that the England international is unavailable because of a bug.
