Arsenal's Jack Wilshere back to full training after breaking leg

Jack Wilshere was back in full training with Arsenal on Wednesday after recovering from the leg fracture he suffered toward the end of his loan spell at Bournemouth last season.

Wilshere was one of four Arsenal players to join full preseason training, along with defenders Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers and Rob Holding, who had all been given extended time off after the Under-21 European Championship.

Wilshere had been undergoing a rehabilitation program after suffering a season-ending injury against Tottenham in April. He missed the Gunners' recent trip to Australia and China.

The midfielder has been linked with a permanent move away from the Emirates this summer, but a source told ESPN FC that he is only interested in other clubs in England if he's forced out at Arsenal.

Wilshere's career has been plagued with injuries and he faces tough competition for a central midfield role in Arsene Wenger's team, with Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka among those currently ahead of him in the pecking order.

Chambers has also been linked with a transfer after spending last season on loan at Middlesbrough, but could get a chance to play in Arsenal's new back-three formation in this weekend's Emirates Cup preseason tournament.
