Jack Wilshere is dealing with a minor knee issue as Arsenal wrap up their preseason, manager Arsene Wenger says.

The England international played against the MLS All-Stars last week but sat out Sunday night's win over Chivas.

But unlike with the injury that kept him out for almost all of last season, Wenger said he hoped the midfielder will return to action "maybe next week."

"It's a slight patella problem but I think he should be with us on tour on Thursday," he said. "I hope he will, yes."

Arsenal will travel to Norway to face Viking on Friday before concluding their preseason slate against Manchester City in Sweden on Sunday.

The Gunners open the Premier League at home against Liverpool, though Wenger said Santi Cazorla may not be available for the Aug. 14 game.
