Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be fit for World Cup

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reiterated that Jack Wilshere is expected to be fit for this summer's World Cup in Brazil, alongside teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Wilshere has been on the sidelines with a foot injury since March, but is expected to be included in Roy Hodgson's England squad for the tournament.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is also on the treatment table with a groin injury, but Wenger has insisted that it will not hamper the winger's chances of travelling with the team to Brazil.

"I think [Wilshere] will be completely safe and on that front medically alright," Wenger said in Friday's press conference. "At the moment [Oxlade-Chamberlain] has a an inflamed groin - for the World Cup he should be okay."

Both players will miss Sunday's match against West Bromwich Albion.
