Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was pictured speaking to police in the early hours of Sunday morning after a reported bust-up between two groups of men at a nightclub in London.

The 24-year-old, who has been out of action for the entire season so far with a leg injury, was spotted outside a club in the capital following an altercation.

According to The Mirror, the footballer was also thrown out of the venue, and was seen trying to cover his face with a jacket before getting in a car and leaving the area.

It has been reported by Sky Sports News that Wilshere, who has caused controversy in recent years after being caught smoking three times, denies being involved in the fracas.

The England international returned to training last week in the hope of featuring before the end of the season and making the Three Lions squad for Euro 2016, which begins in June.
