It was the last thing Arsenal, and if they were honest, England fans wanted to see — Jack Wilshere leaving the field due to injury on Wednesday night.

While the severity of the damage to Wilshere’s ankle has yet to be confirmed, it was still a major blow for the midfielder’s evening to be cut short.

In putting his body on the line during the League Cup semi-final first-leg tie against Chelsea, the 26-year-old blocked a Danny Drinkwater shot in the second-half and was forced to limp off, despite his best attempts to continue.
