Jack Wilshere is happy personally after getting 90 minutes under his belt against Red Star Belgrade on Thursday night.
Wilshere has been getting back into the Arsenal team this season after last season’s loan to Bournemouth.
The 25-year-old has had just 14 minutes of Premier League action this season, coming on as a substitute in the 5-2 win at Goodison Park.
He made his first appearance for Arsenal in over a year and has played every minute of the Gunners’ last three Europa League games.
He is also a regular feature in the League Cup, playing in the 1-0 win against Doncaster and played 113 minutes as Arsenal were taken to extra time by Norwich City.
Wilshere and Arsenal didn’t get the result they wanted on Thursday, with a 0-0 draw, but it was enough to ensure they qualify to the Round of 32 in the Europa League.
Wilshere spoke about his personal performance (via Daily Mail):
I’m trying to get in the team, which is difficult here because there are good players, but I’m doing well in training and trying to impress when I get the chance.
The Englishman is a firm favourite of the Arsenal fans and he hopes to get more minutes as the Gunners travel to Manchester City on Sunday.
In the centre of midfield, Wilshere faces competition from Granit Xhaka, Aaron Ramsey, Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny in central midfield.
So it will be hard for Wilshere to get back into the starting XI regularly, but a fight that he is definitely not going to turn away from.
