Arsene Wenger says that Jack Wilshere will not play against Reading in the League Cup on Tuesday.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Jack Wilshere will play no part in the Gunners' League Cup tie at Reading on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old made his return to action against Queens Park Rangers at the Emirates Stadium today following a 14-month layoff with ankle and knee injuries.

Wenger also remained coy on whether the England international will feature against Manchester United at Old Trafford next Saturday.

"Now, after a game like that, I will certainly not play him on Tuesday [against Reading in the Capital One Cup]," said Wenger.

"Will I play him [at Manchester United] next week? I don't know."

Arsenal won today's game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Mikel Arteta.
