Wilshere has been out for 15 months but is in the squad for today's trip to Norwich.

"Since the start of the season the midfield has done very well", Wenger told the Arsenal website.

"Last season, the whole season, we did not play with [Abou] Diaby and Jack [Wilshere]. They are two fantastic players but Diaby did not start one game and Jack was out the whole season.

"Of course those two coming back and suddenly you have Ramsey, Jack, Diaby, Cazorla, Arteta. So you have players there now."
