England Under-21<\/a> side in the European Championship this summer.<\/p>\nThe competition takes place in Denmark after the season draws to a close, but it is thought that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is not in favour of the 19-year-old playing for the youth national team.<\/p>\n
However, Three Lions boss Fabio Capello and U-21 manager Stuart Pearce have in the past expressed hope of being able to call upon the midfielder for the tournament.<\/p>\n
And this could see the youngster having to play on June 4 in a Euro 2012 qualifier for the senior side, before joining the youth team for the tournament in Denmark – which could prolong his season by another three weeks. <\/p>\n
The player himself has rejected the notion that he will be burnt out and maintained that he is at his physical peak.<\/p>\n
“At the moment I feel I can keep going,” he said, according to The Mirror<\/em>. “I\u2019ve played 43 games so I feel fitter and better than ever.<\/p>\n“It will only be good for my career. If you look at the Germans, they won the Under-21 tournament and the following year they went to the World Cup and did well. <\/p>\n
“It is important to start winning international tournaments early and get it into you and hopefully you can take it onto the world stage.<\/p>\n
“It is up to the manager, but I want to play. Stuart Pearce, Fabio Capello and Arsene Wenger will talk about it and see what is best for me.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m always in contact with Arsene Wenger, who has been a big part of my career, and I\u2019ll always talk to him. I\u2019ll be talking to him over the next few weeks.”<\/p>\n
Wilshere also believes that the there are not many changes necessary to the squad that had a miserable showing in the World Cup last year, and insists that there are several great players already.<\/p>\n
“There doesn\u2019t have to be so many changes after the World Cup,” he continued. “There are great players in there still.<\/p>\n
“We were missing a lot of players against Ghana, big players, and we still got a good result. There are players to come in and there are younger players as well and it\u2019s only good for English football.<\/p>\n
“There is more competition now. Players like Stewart Downing and Ashley Young are really coming on now, me and James Milner as well.”<\/p>\n
