JACK WILSHERE has vowed to bounce back after a hernia operation is expected to rule him out for the rest of the season.
The West Ham midfielder revealed pictures from his hospital bed after going under the knife.
Wilshere, 28, has only made two league starts this season after his struggles with injuries continued.
The former Arsenal prospect is now facing another lengthy spell on the treatment table but insisted he will be back.
Taking to Instagram to reveal the aftermath of his operation, he wrote the motivational message: “Laugh at me but remember I am a human being who only wants to get my boots on and play football.
“The only thing I love and my body at the moment is not allowing me to.
“This is hurting me bad but I will be back.”
Alongside two images he wrote: “Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”

Wilshere has only appeared 18 times for the Hammers since his free transfer in the summer of 2018.
His progress in the first team was hampered with an ankle problem last season and it has gone from bad to worse this season.
The England midfielder, who last featured for his country in 2016, is on a reported £100,000-a-week at West Ham.
