The Arsenal midfielder's late cameo in the 4-2 defeat by Sweden in
Stockholm represented his first involvement for his country since draw
with Switzerland at Wembley in June 2011. A serious ankle injury, and
subsequent knee complaint, had left him on the sidelines ever since with
his reintegration at club level to date amounting to three first-team
appearances and four run-outs in the development squad.
"It's been
great to be back," said Wilshere having spent three days with the
England squad prior to that 28-minute appearance at the Friends Arena.
"It's a whole new squad, a whole new manager, new coaching staff, and
it's been great to be back around them and see how they want to work
with me. It's totally different to when the other manager [Fabio
Capello] was in and I like it. It's an English manager and it's good
that he knows the history and everything. It's good to be around an
English manager. I'm glad I came. It's a pleasure to play for England
and I will never say no."
