Roy Hodgson has risked another club versus country row over Jack Wilshere's fitness.

Arsenal midfielder Wilshere suffered an ankle injury during the friendly with Germany which will need to be assessed before Saturday's top of the table clash with Southampton.

And that comes even though Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger asked Hodgson not to risk Wilshere in both of England's friendlies against Chile and Germany.

It surprised Arsenal when Wilshere came on as a substitute on Tuesday night – and sure enough it ended up with the midfielder taking a kick from German substitute Sidney Sam.

Wilshere, 21, is hoping to be fit to be in the squad to face Southampton but Wenger's pleas for caution over his fitness appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

Last season, England boss Hodgson played Wilshere for the whole of a friendly against Brazil even though Wenger again hoped he would not be risked.
