Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere had underwent a left ankle surgery on Thursday, according to the club's official website.

The England international sustained a damage to the ligament, following a challenge from Manchester United defender Paddy McNair during a recent fixture in the Premier League.

"Jack Wilshere has had successful surgery on his left ankle and will be out for approximately three months," a statement read on Arsenal.com.

"The England international sustained the injury to his ankle ligaments during the Premier League match with Manchester United on Saturday at Emirates Stadium."

"An assessment with a specialist confirmed the need for an operation and the 22-year-old had successful surgery to his ankle in London on Thursday afternoon."

Wilshere was just getting his groove on, so to speak, after recovering from a fracture in his right foot, but is now confronted with another setback.

"Jack will now commence his injury rehabilitation programme with the Arsenal medical team."

"Everyone at the club wishes Jack a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch as soon as possible."
