Wilshere is ok -Wenger plays down injury rumours
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Arsene Wenger has denied rumours Jack Wilshere has suffered another injury setback ahead of Arsenal 's Champions League clash with Monaco on Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old suffered a serious ankle injury in a collision with Paddy McNair as Arsenal fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United in
November.
And although he is on the verge of an Arsenal comeback, Wilshere missed the first team's open training session prior to the encounter
with Monaco and was an unused substitute on Saturday as the Gunners defeated Crystal Palace 2-1.
However Wenger played down speculation that this was because of a new injury, telling reporters: "He was rested in training today. There's no setback."
Arsenal host Leonardo Jardim's side in the first leg of the last-16 clash and are heavy favourites to progress, but Wenger has warned against complacency.
"We have had 17 consecutive seasons in this competition. 'Easy' is a word you need to ban in the Champions League," he added.
They are a disciplined team who are very strong in defence, well organised and dangerous on the break. I love pressure because there's lots at stake and those are the ones you want to be involved with as a manager and a player.
