“When you are injured - and injured for a while - it is hard. You have ...” — Jack Wilshere Quote

When you are injured - and injured for a while - it is hard. You have to go to the training ground and watch everyone go out to play.

I play the way I do because it's the Arsenal way.

I want Arsenal to want me. If they didn't want me, it would hurt.

If you don't believe in yourself, then who is going to believe in you?

I've been in tournaments before when you've been away for a while, and you're not really playing, you're just training. Sometimes you can feel like you're not really part of it.

Being injured gives you the chance to reflect on the players who play in your position, too. You see things you can do, things you can maybe do better.

It is always a shame when players are injured.

I trained with Shaolin monks in China and I faced a lot of limitations I had to get over. I got hurt, I got injured, I got tired, but I always came back for more because my brain told me I could overcome it all. It was a mental puzzle I was being asked to solve.

People don't understand how hard it is to be injured, not to be part of the team but to watch from the side.

I certainly don't want to be injured.
