Wilshere has not played since Arsenal's 2-1 loss at north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on March 3 and had been expected to feature against Reading on Saturday after a period of rehabilitation that included a visit to Dubai.Wilshere missed the whole of last season with knee and ankle problems, and Wenger said that as a result, Arsenal are unwilling to take any chances with him.However, Wenger says that he will not be ready to return for at least two weeks.We will rest him when it is needed. He has regular scans and as soon as we have an alert, we will respect it no matter what is at stake," Wenger said.Wilshere's injury is not better or worse. It was an inflammation of his (ankle) bone and we had such history with him, we are a bit more cautious than we would be with you or with me," Wenger told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.Wenger also revealed that Theo Walcott is due to receive more treatment after picking up what the Arsenal manager described as a "minor hip/groin injury" while on international duty with England.We deferred a little bit his rehab by one week. We gave him one more week rest because it was wise medically to do it.
