but the 27-year-old midfielder has been stepping up his recovery and recently turned out for the Under-23s.

He’s played already one game for the Under-23s. We will talk with him, but it will be soon,” said Pellegrini, who confirmed Wilshere had been training “without problem” as he steps up his recovery. “This week or next week. He will play some games before the end of the season.” The West Ham boss added: “I think he is a midfielder that we need because in that position we have so many times all of those injuries.
The return for Jack to the team will be a good injection for the team.” Forward Marko Arnautovic has recovered from the illness which saw him miss last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United.
