Arsene Wenger insists Jack Wilshere's latest injury setback will not stop Arsenal from opening contract talks with the England international in the summer.
Wilshere suffered a broken leg last weekend to bring to an end a season-long loan spell at Bournemouth, a move that was aimed at giving the 25-year-old more game time.
The midfielder had appeared as a substitute in two of Arsenal's opening three Premier League games before discussions with Wenger led to him leaving on a temporary deal.
Wilshere has struggled with injuries over the past three seasons, suffering a number of ankle problems, and was looking to prove that he can put together a run of games.
