Jack Wilshere, as has so often been the case over recent years, found himself watching an Arsenal game from the Emirates stands on Sunday afternoon.
This time however, it wasn’t some form of niggling ankle injury preventing him from taking to the field, but rather the fact that he’s spending the season on loan at Bournemouth, Arsenal’s opponents for the afternoon.
