Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere sent off in Under-23s match

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been sent off following an altercation while playing for the Under-23s.

The 25-year-old has been building up his fitness after recovering from a broken leg, which he suffered at the end of last season.

Wilshere spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Bournemouth in order to gain regular first-team minutes following prolonged injury spells on the sidelines.

The midfielder started 22 Premier League matches for the Cherries, and came off the bench in a further five, but his loan stint ended in injury.

According to The Mirror, both Wilshere and Manchester City Under-23s' Tyreke Wilson were shown red cards an hour into the match for getting involved in a brawl.

The Arsenal midfielder reacted angrily to Matthew Smith's tackle by shoving the City youngster.

The England international could now face a ban for seeing red.
