The midfielder could be headed for sunny Greece rather than Russia following an interaction with a fan on social media.
Jack Wilshere
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has intimated that he has been
left out of England's World Cup 2018 squad, having playfully accepted an
offer of a holiday to Greece from a stranger on Twitter.
The 26-year-old has not appeared for the Three Lions since Euro
2016, but appeared to be in the running for a place on the plane to
Russia.
However, a series of late-season knocks are said to have convinced
manager Gareth Southgate to look elsewhere. And Wilshere suggested he
will be free over the off-season with his response to someone inviting
him on a trip to Zante with "the lads".
Alongside two laughing emojis, he replied on Twitter: "Let me know the dates and I'm in."
Wilshere continued the light-hearted interaction by adding: "Can I bring the baby as well?"
World Cup 2018 squads have been revealed by many of the 32 teams
involved in June and July's finals this week, with Gareth Southgate to
name his 23-man on Wednesday.
The tournament gets under way with Russia vs Saudi Arabia on
Thursday June 14. England's first match is against Tunisia on Monday
June 18 before group games against Panama and Belgium.
Spain, Brazil, Germany, Argentina and France are among the
favourites to win the 2018 edition, although Belgium, England, Portugal
and more will be hoping to cause a surprise.
