Jack Wilshere has reportedly agreed to sacrifice his dreams of representing Team GB at this summer's London Olympics in a bid to guarantee that he is fully fit for the start of Arsenal's Premier League campaign.
The 20-year-old, who has not made a single appearance this term, was ruled out of Euro 2012 and the Gunners' end-of-season run-in yesterday.
He was still hopeful of making the Olympics in July, however he has been persuaded against the idea by Arsene Wenger and will now take part in the Gunners' pre-season tour of the Far East instead, according to The Mirror.
Wilshere had described himself as "devastated" by the news that he will miss the rest of this season.
