Arsenal's 17-year-old prodigy Jack Wilshere has been
photographed sinking a cold drink in a bar just two days before he
is likely to be called into Carling Cup action.
Fear not, however, the under-age midfielder will not fall foul
of the licensing laws as he attended the opening of Milk Shake City
in Finchley, north London.
Wilshere joined Gunners team-mate Gael Clichy and the France
full-back's girlfriend as hordes of fans clamoured for and
autograph and picture of the stars.
Arsenal thumped Wigan 4-0 at the weekend, although Wilshere was
not involved. The England Under 21 player is likely to feature in
the Gunners' Carling Cup tie against West Brom at the Emirates
Stadium on Tuesday.
Manager Arsene Wenger is expected to again give his Arsenal
youngsters and fringe players a chance to impress against the
Baggies.

Centre-half Philippe Senderos should provide some
experience at the back after remaining at Emirates Stadium despite
the chance to leave during the transfer window, along with veteran
Mikael Silvestre, who has made just one appearance so
far this season.
Sanchez Watt, 18, was on the bench for the Champions League game
at Standard Liege and could start, while Kieran Gibbs, Fran Merida,
Aaron Ramsey and Wilshere may also feature as they stake a claim
for a regular first-team place.
Provisional Squad:
Mannone, Gibbs, Senderos, Silvestre, Hoyte, Ramsey, Merida,
Wilshere, Randall, Watt, Sunu, Szczesny, Bartley, Coquelin,
Freeman, Frimpong, Murphy, Traore, Eastmond, Barazite.
