Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is not a popular figure amongst the West Ham United fans after the latest news delivered by manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The West Ham United manager gave his pre-match press conference on Thursday ahead of the Premier League meeting with Newcastle United at home on Saturday evening.

According to him, Jack Wilshere will miss the Newcastle United game due to a small injury as he said that he doesn’t want to risk the Arsenal Academy graduate.

The injury news delivered by Chilean tactician Manuel Pellegrini didn’t go down well with some of the West Ham United fans who took their various social media accounts to taunt Jack Wilshere about his poor injury record.

Jack Wilshere is in the second year of the three-year West Ham United contract that he signed upon joining the Hammers on a free transfer from boyhood club Arsenal at the start of last season.

He has played eight games in all competitions in the colours of the East Londoners this season with four starts coming in the Premier League.

Jack Wilshere came through the ranks at Arsenal before spending several years with the first team though injuries affected his career with the North London giants a great deal.
