Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere looks almost certain to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious injury setback.

Wilshere has picked up a fresh stress fracture to his right ankle during his bid to make a comeback.

The 20-year-old is now very doubtful for England’s Euro 2012 campaign as he is unlikely to feature at all for his club this season.

On Twitter: 'I can confirm I have a stress fracture but it is not in the same area as my first injury which has healed very which I am happy about.

Setback: Jack Wilshere is set to spend more time on the sidelines

'I have developed a stress fracture in the Heal now and I don't want to put any time scale on it as I do not know how long it will take.

'I will update you more in a couple of weeks when I know more!'

Wilshere has missed the entire campaign to date with his original fracture, which needed surgery.

He was expected to return this month but broke down in training last week.

Wilshere has since had a series of scans to determine the extent of the injury and the results indicate he has suffered another stress fracture in the same ankle.
