Jack Wilshere will not contest his FA charge for misconduct and is expected to be fined following a disciplinary meeting later this week.

Arsenal have until tomorrow evening at 6pm to contest the sanction relating to the 23-year-old’s behaviour at the club’s FA Cup Final victory celebrations on 31 May.

Wilshere took to a microphone on during the team’s open-top bus parade to lead two expletive-laden chants about north London rivals Tottenham less than 24 hours after the club’s Wembley success over Aston Villa.

The England midfielder was one of a number of Arsenal players pictured leaving Libertine nightclub in central London in the early hours of Sunday morning before continuing the party later that day with thousands of fans lining the streets of Islington to greet the team.

Wilshere was reminded of his responsibilities by Arsenal although the club were not thought to be treating it as a serious incident. The FA charge came as a surprise to Wilshere but he received a written warning 12 months earlier after a similar incident as Arsenal celebrated their 2014 FA Cup win against Hull.

The fact he was warned previously made it difficult for Wilshere to find solid grounds for appeal and Standard Sport understands he will accept the FA charge.

A decision on Wilshere’s punishment will then be made and it is believed that a fine rather than a suspension is the most likely outcome given the offence took place off the field.

Player Ratings: How England fared against Ireland 10 show all Player Ratings: How England fared against Ireland 1/10 Joe Hart: 6 Made one very good save from Murphy – given as a goal-kick – but didn’t look his usual commanding self when high balls came into the box. Getty 2/10 Phil Jones: 6 A good defender but lacks the quality on the ball to be a right-back. Made one good first-half burst but his cross was poor with two waiting. Getty 3/10 Gary Cahill: 7 Much more assured than his partner, the Chelsea man continued his fine end to the season with a solid performance. Stood tall under early pressure.

Ireland doubled up on Sterling and gave him no space. 9/10 Wayne Rooney: 4 His worst England game in a long time. Before he blew the best chance with an extremely heavy touch he’d given the ball away a few times.

The FA declared in a statement last week that “it is alleged his conduct in making and/or inciting certain comments during the club’s open bus trophy tour was improper and/or brought the game into disrepute”.

It is not clear what level of fine Wilshere can expect but in January Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was fined £25,000 for comments he made claiming there was a “clear campaign” against his team which the FA also construed as improper conduct.

Wilshere played down the incident when speaking in the wake of England’s 0-0 draw against Republic of Ireland last weekend.

Asked if he considered it a lesson learned, he said: “Yes, that’s one way of looking at it, but at the same time people have been giving me a lot of stick for having some fun and enjoying myself at the end of [a successful season].

“We’ve worked hard all year as a group of players and we’ve won a trophy. That’s the best feeling in the world. No matter what job you do, if at the end of the year you get a promotion and a bonus, you’re going to go out and celebrate. I think that side of things [going out partying] was a bit harsh, but with the [England players] code [of conduct]…

“I’ve always had that bond with the Arsenal fans since I was young because I came through the club. I grew up at Arsenal and I love the fans, but believe it or not, I’ve actually got family who are Tottenham fans so it’s nothing personal against them, it was just a bit of fun.”
