Henri Lansbury

I wondered why Henri kept tweeting about being in a hotel and sounding overall rather homesick. Then I discovered he'd gone from this ...


to this!

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere cautioned over assault

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has received a caution after a brawl in a west London street. Wilshere, 18, who won his first England cap against Hungary, was arrested on 29 August in Kensington High Street over a "fracas". Emergency crews were called after a man suffered minor facial injuries and a woman sustained a broken arm. The Metropolitan Police cautioned Wilshere, considered one of England's best prospects, for common assault.

A spokesman for the Met said: "An 18-year-old male has attended a west London police station where he received a caution for common assault." A statement from Wilshere's spokesman read: "During a night out with friends, Jack intervened as a peacemaker in an incident to protect a friend. The police have accepted that Jack's involvement was such that it could be dealt with by way of a caution. No further comment will be made as police investigations and proceedings are ongoing and Jack may well be called as a witness."

In October Duane Brailsford, 18, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, was charged with affray and causing actual bodily harm over the brawl. Adam Mardell, 21, also of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, was charged with affray. The fighting broke out when the footballer was out celebrating Arsenal's Premier League victory against Blackburn Rovers.

Jack Wilshere injured in training

Jack Wilshere will miss tonight's match against France after pulling out of the training session yesterday.  He later tweeted:


Jack Wilshere
Hopefully my injury is not too serious. Would love to be fit for Saturday against Spurs.

Get well soon

And it could have been a lot worse were it not for Henri Lansbury's heroic efforts in goal following the sending off of the substitute goalkeeper.
