No manager has been caught up more in club v country rows than Arsene Wenger of late, and a new battle is set to erupt as the England U21s look set to name their strongest squad possible and call up Jack Wilshere for the tournament in Denmark. The Arsenal boss knows the implications of these tournaments, given that he lost Theo Walcott for a large part of the season as a result of the player’s desire to represent his country.
In the papers this morning there has been a mixed bag of stories that includes Taylor hinting at Newcastle stay; Usmanov set to fail in Arsenal bid, while Warnock is set to head the list of player exits at Villa Park.
