Wilshere underwent surgery on his ankle injury back in September.

He joined the club on a free transfer back in the summer, giving up on his prospects at Arsenal.

The 27-year-old has only made five appearances for the club.

The last was a five minute cameo against Newcastle in December where he provided an assist, before suffering another setback.

Wilshere knows not to take anything for granted.
