The England midfielder missed all of the 2011-12 season with injury and Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said that Wilshere was still coming to terms with the demands of playing twice a week.
"It's difficult because his ankle is up and down a little bit," Wenger said. "He's getting better but it's still inflamed sometimes and responds sometimes to games. But after that it goes down again and is normal.
"Sometimes you wonder, do I take a gamble or not?"
