West Ham United are reportedly set to be without Jack Wilshere for the next six weeks.
A number of West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the reports coming from the Guardian this week which have suggested that the Hammers will be without Jack Wilshere for the next six weeks.

But the Guardian adds that Wilshere is now set to be out for six weeks. And it perhaps says it all that much of the reaction from the West Ham fans on social media does not hint at anger, but rather a feeling that the inevitable has happened.
There is little feeling of shock amongst the Hammers fans. And unfortunately for Wilshere, several supporters are now writing him off becoming a success at the London Stadium.
