Jack Wilshere has to clarify that him training is not an April Fools' joke

Jack Wilshere is training! That's a real thing that is happening.

You are forgiven if you thought it was an April Fools' Day joke. Wilshere himself was aware that people would have assumed it was a prank too.

You have to give Wilshere credit for being self-aware.

Arsene Wenger might not have that same awareness in touting Wilshere to return and get a spot on England's Euro team. Wilshere hasn't played a match this season and he's only targeting a U-21 match as the next step in his recovery. Maybe Wilshere does make the trip to France with The Three Lions, but starting with "makes it through another training session" is probably better talk than pushing him for a Euro place.

At least Wilshere recognizes where he stands and can have some fun with it.
