Wilshere omitted from U21 squad

Wilshere does not believe he is in the right condition to play

Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll have been left out of England’s Under-21 squad for the European Championship finals in Denmark this summer.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was strongly against Gunners midfielder Wilshere, 19, being included in the squad.

“I spoke to Jack last week,” said U21 boss Stuart Pearce.

“He explained that while he told me in March that he wanted to be part of the squad, he now feels he is not in the best condition to take part.”
