The Arsenal man joined Bournemouth on loan last week.
Frank Lampard has told The Sun that he hopes Arsenal ace Jack Wilshere can overcome his injury problems and play regularly for Bournemouth this season.
The 24-year-old midfielder joined the Cherries on a season-long loan last week when it became clear that he would struggle for first-team chances with the Gunners.
The England international has had a tough time of it in recent years and has made just 19 Premier League appearances, but it is hoped that time spent with manager Eddie Howe on the South Coast will help him rediscover his form and long-term fitness.
Nevertheless, Chelsea legend Lampard still has high hopes for the Arsenal man, but the veteran midfielder concedes that his injuries also baffle him.
“I don’t know why he has been injured for a long time. But I’d love to see Jack play regularly at Bournemouth,” he told The Sun.
“Then I’m sure the future is bright for him. He’s a big player for England. We want talented midfielders like that to come through. Only by playing regularly can he do that.”
It seems an awful long time ago now that Wilshere exploded on to the scene in 2010 as a 17-year-old, but injury has curtailed so much of his development.
Still, Arsenal fans will be hoping that he can be an ever-present figure for Bournemouth this term, before returning to North London next summer in an effort to rebuild his career with his boyhood club.
