Wilshere happy to be back

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was
delighted to get 70 minutes under his
belt to mark the end of a 'long journey'
back from injury.
The 20-year-old featured for the
Gunners for the first time since May
2011 as they beat QPR 1-0 at Emirates
Stadium on Saturday, having spent 17
months on the sidelines with ankle and
knee problems.
Despite his long lay-off, Wilshere was a
star performer for Arsene Wenger's
side, earning the man-of-the-match
award with a composed display in
midfield.
The England international was glad to
be back in front of a home crowd,
having been greeted with a warm
reception on his return.
He told Sky Sports : "It was great to get
a first 70 minutes in front of an
Emirates crowd. It's been a long
journey but I'm back now.
"The Arsenal fans have always been
great to me. I hope they continue to be
great to me in the future."
Wilshere added of his display: "That's
my game, I can't lose that. It's what's
got me here today.
"I need to keep doing that and working
hard in training to get back to the level
I know I can be."
