Jack Wilshere has reportedly been ruled out of this afternoon's Community Shield at Wembley through injury.

It is believed that the midfielder had been earmarked by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to start the encounter against Premier League champions Chelsea.

However, a knock picked up in training by the 23-year-old has forced Wenger to reverse his decision, according to the Daily Mail.

An ankle problem limited the England international to just 23 appearances in all competitions last term.
