ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN has insisted dreams do come true after Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed that there is no way to know if the winger will be fit in time for the World Cup.

With Andros Townsend ruled out yesterday after suffering an ankle injury, Oxlade-Chamberlain looked a near certainty to be included in England's squad for Brazil.

But with just 11 days until Roy Hodgson names his squad, Wenger has cast doubt on whether Oxlade-Chamberlain will be ready in time.

The Frenchman told Arsenal's official website: "Alex is in treatment at the moment and not in training. It is very difficult to give you a timescale on him at the moment."

However, Oxlade-Chamberlain has taken to Instagram to prove that dreams do come true after posting a picture of himself playing against Arsenal as an 11-year-old.

He said: "It's mad, I remember being in the dressing rooms where Thierry Henry sat feeling like I was a premiership player! I remember the whole experience so clearly, including the 4-1 defeat, but I set up our goal so was buzzing! Just shows.... Dreams can come true!"

Meanwhile, Hodgson said on Tuesday: "From my conversation with Arsene, I don't think there is too much to worry about with Oxlade-Chamberlain."

Hodgson also expects Jack Wilshere to be fit for Brazil, although the midfielder will not feature for Arsenal against West Brom this weekend.
