Arsene Wenger: 'Jack Wilshere will start against Schalke'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that midfielder Jack Wilshere will start against Schalke in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old will sit out the Gunners' next Premier League game following his dismissal against Manchester United on Saturday, and Wenger wants to play him in Germany.

"I think I will play him tomorrow," said the Frenchman on Monday.

"Then we have a block of three games and maybe the fact that he gets a period of recovering will be just right for him. He gets better in every game."

Arsenal are currently second in Group B with six points from three matches, one point behind leaders Schalke.
