# Moyes confirms Wilshere getting closer to return

West Ham United manager David Moyes has confirmed that midfielder Jack Wilshere is stepping up his recovery, as reported on the club’s [official website](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/january/09-january/team-news-moyes-offers-update-squad-ahead-blades-clash).

The Englishman returned to [training in November](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/players/jack-wilshere-west-ham-injury-17296123) before picking up another problem and has been out of action ever since.

As quoted on the website, Moyes said:

> Jack Wilshere has been in the gym and he’s been working outside as well.
>
> He is working towards coming back, but I couldn’t give you an exact date at the moment.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Wilshere is [injury prone](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/verletzungen/spieler/74223) and despite all his talent and ability, his career has sadly been plagued with fitness issues.

Ever since his time at[Arsenal](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/05/arsenal-jack-wilshere-injury-england), he’s been suffering from lengthy injuries which have led to him making [very limited appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/leistungsdaten/spieler/74223) in several football seasons.

The Hammers should be feeling in confident mood ahead of the return of the 28-year-old, especially [after reportedly signing Gedson Fernandes](https://readwestham.com/2020/01/09/west-ham-agree-loan-deal-for-gedson-fernandes/) on an 18-month loan deal, which means that Moyes will have a wealth of quality midfielders at his disposal soon.
