Arsene Wenger admits to being surprised by Jack Wilshere's decision to go ice skating 48 hours before Arsenal take on BATE Borisov in the Europa League.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has seemingly questioned Jack Wilshere's decision to go ice skating with his family, admitting that "it is not ideal".

The 25-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday to joke that he came through the 20-minute session unscathed, despite his chequered injury history.

However, Wenger was surprised that Wilshere - in line to make his sixth Europa League appearance of the season against BATE Borisov on Thursday night - took part in the winter activity with wife Andriani and his two children.

"It's not ideal - although for your balance it's not bad," he told reporters. "For a footballer I don't think it's great - it depends what you do.

"I don't know exactly if it was bringing your child on, just making sure nothing happens. Violent ice-skating? I don't think he does that."

Wilshere has played a full part in four of Arsenal's five Europa League matches, but he has been used for a combined 65 minutes in the Premier League this term.
