Wenger tells England to cut Jack some slack
Arsene Wenger has promoted the youngster Jack Wilshere into the Arsenal first team this season, so it is no surprise that both Stuart Pearce and Fabio Capello have both wanted the young Englishman in their teams.
Capello has basically said that he intends to build his new England side around Wilshere, but Stuart Pearce also want Jack to play for the U21′s at the European Championships this summer.
Wenger is worried that playing for both could be bad for Wilshere, just as it was for Theo Walcott a couple of years ago.
Wenger made it clear that he only wants Jack to play for the senior England side. He said: “You know my position,”
“I always think that you cannot use a player in two different national teams. Once he’s moved up, if you move him down you don’t help him at all, so I believe that would be a bad move.
“We had that situation before for Walcott, for other players. Once a player has moved up and you move him down again it never works. Psychologically you feel you go down.
“We have already spoken about that with the England set-up. It’s difficult to use a player in different teams.
“If you have a good player who’s talented, at the end of the day when you come out of a long season it’s important you do not overload him.”
Surely Capello will realise that a 19 year-old needs a break in the summer?

I think he is still young and need not to play both at his age because he plays more at arsenal so over loading him will only cause him to get injuries
