Disappointed England midfielder Jack Wilshere believes that he would have made a strong impact for England in Russia.
The Arsenal midfielder, who has had an injury-plagued career, was left out of the England 2018 World Cup squad together with keeper Joe Hart.
“I believe I should be in the squad!” he added.
“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.
Wilshere has made 38 appearances for Arsenal in the 2017-18 season, but that included only 12 Premier League starts.
He won the last of his 34 England caps in the Euro 2016 defeat by Iceland.
