Jack Wilshere has responded to being left out of England's World Cup squad with an actual message rather than just agreeing to a holiday in Zante.
Gareth Southgate excluded the Arsenal midfielder from his 23-man squad, selecting Manchester City's Fabian Delph instead.
He remained concerned about his fitness levels, despite the 26-year-old playing 38 games this season for the Gunners across all competitions.
A day removed from being omitted, Wilshere has taken to social media:
"Think its about time I had my say...
It goes without saying that I'm naturally incredibly disappointed to have been left out of the England squad for the World Cup. I've felt fit, sharp and strong all season and believe I should be in the squad!"
"And given the chance i could have made a real inpact. However, I have to respect the manager's decision and would like to wish the whole squad all the very best for the tournament. I will always be an England fan and will be supporting the boys with the rest of the nation"

With his summer free, Wilshere also hilariously agreed to a holiday in Zante:

Should Wilshere be on the plane to Russia?
