Arsenal believe Jack Wilshere could be back to full fitness by next month[GETTY]The Gunners midfielder has been sidelined with a foot injury picked up in the Three Lions' 1-0 win over Denmark last month, and with just a handful of Premier League games remaining, there have been question marks over his recovery time and fitness.
However Arsene Wenger confirmed that the youngster has resumed light training, and could even be available for the FA Cup final clash with Hull at Wembley next month.
Wenger said: "He is starting to jog this week. I would think two to three weeks.
"I spoke to Roy Hodgson and I told him that Wilshere will be available for England. He will be just polished for England.
"Jack can be the positive surprise."

Even if Wilshere makes England's World Cup squad, he could find himself on the bench for most of it after seeing players such as Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana of Southampton leapfrog him in Hodgson's plans.
Despite the fierce competition for midfield places, Wenger believes England will be able to go toe-to-toe with their tough group-stage opponents.
He added: "England has a very difficult group and it is a double problem, but it can be a double chance also because if you come out of a group like that, then the belief is really strong.
"But first they have to deal well with the situation, they have Italy and Uruguay in the group and they have to get out of it."
