London's "Arsenal" coach Arsene Wenger admits that Jack Wilshere would be useful for the injury-hit team at the moment.
Also, the Englishman who has been struggling with injuries for a long time moved to "Bournemouth" on loan basis this season, and there is no option to bring him back earlier in the contract.
However, the strategist insists that the decision to send the 25-year-old footballer to Eddie Howe's team was the right one.
"Yes, Wilshere would be useful now," said Wenger.
"At certain moments of the season, it seems unfair that you know you may need the player someday."
"However, from the beginning, it is necessary to maintain the right balance between competition, numbers, and opportunities given to players to compete."
"Today, I still believe that the decision to let him go was the right one."
Currently, in the ranks of the Gunners, Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin are unavailable due to injuries, while Mesut Ozil missed the last two games due to illness. In addition, Mohamed Elneny left for the African Nations Cup to represent the Egyptian national team.
Meanwhile, Wilshere has played 17 games in the Premier League this season.
