Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expects both Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be fit for the World Cup.

The England midfielders have been out injured.

Wenger is not sure whether Oxlade-Chamberlain will be back before the end of the season, as he has a groin problem.

But he says Wilshere is close to returning to full training, and added that he does not think it would be a risk to take him to Brazil.

"It's not a gamble if he is completely fit, it's the strengthening of the team. If there was a medical doubt, then yes it would be a gamble. But I think he will be completely safe on that front. Medically he should be alright," said the Arsenal manager.
