Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury and will not go to Euro 2012 with England, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger confirmed.

A stress fracture to his right ankle has prevented Wilshere from playing this season, but both the player and Wenger had been optimistic that he would return to play some part in the end-of-season run-in.

But speaking after Arsenal's surprise 2-1 loss at home to Wigan in the Barclays Premier League, Wenger said: 'Jack Wilshere will not play again this season and will not go to the Euros, that is for sure.

'He is not ready to practice today or next week. He makes progress, but slow progress.

'What is for sure is he will not be ready for the end of the season and not for the Euros.

'He is devestated, and you can understand that.'

Wilshere tweeted: 'Gutted, sad, devastated..it's been a test mentally for me this season and it will continue to be tough until I am back out on the pitch.
