Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits there is plenty at stake for Jack Wilshere this season as he looks to maintain his fitness for any sustainable period.
The England international has only just returned to action from the latest in a long line of injury setbacks, having made just three appearances for the Gunners this term.
And, with Wilshere’s current deal at the Emirates Stadium expiring next year - as well as the fact it is a World Cup year in 2018 - Wenger admits the next few months could make or break the skilful playmaker.
"Jack Wilshere struggled historically with repeated injuries and no one could question his talent, nobody would question his exceptional ability to beat people with the ball,” .
"But in this job, you need to have health. The requests and demands of the competition, physically, are so high and you can only be at your best if you can play at least 10 games on the trot. That's what's at stake for Jack Wilshere.
"He needs to keep his health and be capable of competing. If he can play from now until December at the top level, he will be back. If he has other set-backs then it will be more difficult.
"It's a vital season because he's nearing the end of his contract, it's a World Cup year and he has been an Arsenal player since he was a kid, so all that's at stake for him and for us as well because you'd love a player like him of that quality to come back.
"In fact he had a very good game in BATE Borisov, especially a brilliant first half where he was back to his best, so he's not far away now. Let's hope in the next two or three weeks he can play regularly in the first team."
