Wilshere explained that his time away from the game made him realise how much he loved and missed it, as previously going into training each day had been taken for granted.
Speaking to Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam, on the outlet’s Transfer Live show, the midfielder went on to say that he has much to give to the game and that he is excited about the challenges ahead.
Great to have @JackWilshere live on the show. Great for #afcb to have his quality in the squad for the second half of the season. https://t.co/UAK4iEZPMF
