Jack Wilshere admits he could never have imagined himself being involved in a Championship promotion battle 10 years ago.
Midfielder Wilshere re-joined Bournemouth this week just a few weeks short of a decade since producing one of the defining displays of his career when he inspired Arsenal to a last-16 Champions League win over Barcelona in February 2011.
After dominating midfield against a Pep Guardiola side containing Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi, the sky appeared to be the limit for Wilshere.
Wilshere has won 34 England caps and two FA Cups, though misfortune has prevented him hitting the heights expected, with a succession of ankle problems proving particularly troublesome during his time at the Emirates.
