Wilshere picked up the knock in the Gunners' pre-season friendly against New York Red Bulls on Sunday and underwent a scan on Tuesday. It was hoped the procedure would shed some light on whether he would miss England's friendly with Holland next week, although his participation remains in the balance with no definitive timescale in place for his return. Wilshere confirmed on his Twitter account: "Ankle scan just showed some inflammation. Hopefully will settle down in a few days." The scan confirms the initial prognosis of the Arsenal medical staff, who informed Arsene Wenger that he could expect to be without the 19-year-old for a week. The injury could still put Wilshere out of the Gunners' final pre-season friendly at Benfica on Saturday. Wenger said after Sunday's game that Wilshere would be unavailable for England's August 10 friendly against Holland should he fail to recover in time to play in Portugal.
