Jack Wilshere's latest ankle injury will see him out of action for around three months.

The England international had an operation on it yesterday after he fell awkwardly on it during Arsenal's 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United last weekend.

And the newspapers have gone to town on Wilshere's injury record, highlighting the fact Wilshere will have been sidelined for a huge total of 115 weeks through his career by the time he eventually returns from his latest setback.

One journalist in particular, Richard Innes of the Daily Mirror, went as far as claiming Wilshere has the 'world's most brittle ankles.' Such a statement angered the midfielder so much he felt it neccessary to respond to Innes with an angry post on his Instagram, where he posts a horrible picture of the tackle that led to his injury - his ankle clearly bent in an eye-watering and unnatural direction.

Having seen the image, you have to wonder whether Wilshere has a point here...

We all know the media like to talk nonsense, not all of them, but most! And most of it I can take...however after being shown an article in @DailyMirror saying I have 'Worlds most Brittle ankles'. @bigrichinnes clearly doesn't know what 'brittle' means, as this picture clearly shows' most people/players would have broken their ankle if someone tackled them like this. Luckily I have 'loose joints', not brittle' and only damaged ligaments. #Fool #GetTheFacts A photo posted by Jack Wilshere (@jackwilshere) on Nov 11, 2014 at 11:37pm PST
