Wenger - No problem with FA over Jack

Jack Wilshere in action for England

Arsene Wenger says he has "no problem" with the Football Association over Jack Wilshere's England commitments.

The Arsenal midfielder featured in two friendlies during the international break - playing 71 minutes in the 2-0 defeat to Chile and coming off the bench for the final 26 minutes of the 1-0 loss to Germany.

Reports claimed that Wenger was concerned by the amount of game time given to Wilshere but the Frenchman denies that - and has confirmed that Wilshere is fit to face Southampton on Saturday.

"First of all Jack is not injured, that was not the right information," Wenger told Arsenal Player.

"Secondly, I have no problem with the FA, they respected completely what they told me and it was [for Wilshere] to play in one game and be on the bench in the other.

"They did that very well. So there is no misunderstanding there. Exactly [they did what we agreed]."
