Wenger says Arsenal's Jack Wilshere will not face West Bromwich Albion but will be available for selection against Sunderland on Sunday"He has absorbed well his first obstacle, that is to get games and finally get 90 minutes. The positive is he had no setbacks and the positive as well is that in every game he was sharper. So that means he has a good basis, a good fitness basis, and overall the progression should be normal. Now he's available for selection, I don't think from tomorrow but from the next game on, it's just now do I select him or not.""Every time is doesn't work you question yourself.
