They’re not happy
Although the official World Cup squad announcement isn’t until 1pm today, it’s already been all but confirmed that Jack Wilshere will not be on the plane to Russia. In fact, he’s already made summer plans to head to Zante.
It was touch and go whether he would be included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad given he missed part of the season due to injury and fitness issues. However, having been left out at the start of the Gunner’s campaign he made a few appearances in Europe before finally returning for Arsenal in the Premier League at the end of the season.
Now Arsenal fans are reacting to the news that he’s not included and a lot of them are making the same point – that he should be on the fackin’ plane.
Despite him not showing much form as Arsenal finished in 6th place, Fabian Delph and Jake Livermore now look likely to be included instead and they’re not happy
How can Livermore be picked over Wilshere?! Really hope the rumours aren’t true. Backed Southgate’s selections over the last year or so but that would be a joke

Is it really going to be Livermore over Wilshere? 😂

Livermore over Wilshere? When you get down to your fourth replacement midfielder surely go for a bit of flair, rather than more of the same?

If he’s left out Wilshere for Livermore than the games gone and I’m supporting Costa Rica.
