Six weeks out for Jack Wilshere

Arsenal's Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for approximately six weeks, having suffered a hairline fracture in his left foot in England's win over Denmark on Wednesday night.

The midfielder said after the match that he expected the injury to be "only a bruise", but scans from the FA and his club have confirmed a hairline fracture to the navicular bone in his left foot.

"Following initial scans carried out by the FA on Wednesday night, further investigation by Arsenal's medical team has discovered a crack to a small bone in Jack's left foot - the navicular, an area of his foot which has not been previously injured," Arsenal confirmed on their website.

"Jack will now require a period of approximately six weeks' rehabilitation, before starting to regain his match fitness."

The injury happened early in the game after a challenge with Liverpool's Daniel Agger.
