The Daily Mirror says that Wilshere fears his chances of playing in next year’s World Cup are diminishing with every week he remains on the Arsenal bench.

But so far he has failed to convince Arsene Wenger that he warrants a regular place in the starting line-up and consequently he is looking at his options.
