Wilshere breaks down again in training

Jack Wilshere has broken down again in training suffering from further pain in his groin the manager has revealed.

Giving an injury update in his Crystal Palace pre-match press conference from Rush Green on Monday Pellegrini told reporter ‘Jack Wilshere continues with some pain in his groin so he is not working with the squad’

At the end of November, the manager had told the media that the 27-year-old had returned to training and was hoped to be fit around the festive period. It is the latest blow for the club and the manager who showed so much faith in the player they signed on a three-year contract on £100,000 per week in July 2018.

In September 2018 Wilshere suffered an ankle injury keeping him out for 77 days followed by ankle surgery in December last year keeping him out for a further 124 days.

His latest groin injury which started in October this year has already kept him out for 69 days.

Wilshere has made just sixteen appearances in all competitions for West Ham since joining from Arsenal 18 months ago.
