Wenger: 'Wilshere not fit for England'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said there is 'no chance' midfielder Jack Wilshere will feature in England's upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers.

The 19-year-old had been recovering from an ankle injury picked up in pre-season, but has suffered a new setback in his recovery.

"No chance he will be fit for England," said Wenger.

"It's not ideal for us on the day we sell [Samir] Nasri."

England face Bulgaria on Friday, September 2, before hosting Wales on Tuesday, September 6.
