    Jack Wilshere, the Arsenal and England midfielder, was arrested in the early hours of the morning following a "fracas", according to a spokesman for the player.

    Wilshere, who came on as an 84th-minute substitute in yesterday's 2-1 win over Blackburn, was arrested but released on bail.

    The statement, issued by the Wasserman Media Group on behalf of the 18-year-old, went on to claim that Wilshere is "unlikely" to face charges.

    The statement read: "Jack Wilshere was arrested by police in the early hours following a fracas but was released on bail later. The police have made it very clear that he is an important witness to the incident and played the role of peacemaker and is unlikely to face any charges as a result. Jack has made it very clear he will cooperate fully with the police investigation."

    A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called at approximately 2.45am on Sunday 29 August following reports of an assault on Kensington High Street.

    "Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and discovered a man and a woman suffering injuries. The woman had suffered a broken and dislocated elbow; the man was treated for a minor facial injury. Both went to a west London hospital for treatment.

    "Officers subsequently stopped a vehicle and arrested four men on suspicion of assault. They were taken to west London police station and subsequently bailed to return in mid-October, pending further inquiries."

    Wilshere made his England debut in this month's friendly win over Hungary, but will not be involved in next month's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales after returning to the Under-21 squad.

    The media having a fest with this. They should have just said "Witnessed a fight at a club". They make it seem like he was the instigator in that incident.
