Wilshere set for WCup squad battle

Football | England

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere admits he faces a fight to secure a place in England's squad for the World Cup.
Just 12 months ago, Wilshere was regarded as the hottest young talent in England and a key member of the national team for years to come.
But the 21-year-old has endured a difficult period of late marred by injury problems and a loss of form.

He has been in and out of the Arsenal team and started on the bench for England's 1-0 friendly defeat against Germany at Wembley on Tuesday.
Manchester United's Tom Cleverley was selected ahead of Wilshere, who made little impact when he eventually came on as a second half substitute.
With England having just a handful of friendlies left before boss Roy Hodgson names his final squad for the World Cup, Wilshere acknowledges he still has to prove he is worth a seat on the plane to Brazil next year.
