Should Jack Wilshere play for the England Under 21's in the Summer?

England are playing in the Under-21 European Championships in the Summer and The FA looks set to be on a collision course with Arsene Wenger over whether young Jack Wilshere should feature in the tournament. Both the FA and Jack Wilshere are keen on the idea however in contrast Wenger believes Jack should rest for the Summer due to his young age and that he shouldn't play for the under 21's when he is now a regular in the full England side.  

 Wilshere is only 19 and has only just become a regular in the Arsenal side this season. He will therefore be completing his first season and he is going to need a rest in the summer to be ready for the next season. He has done amazingly well so far this season to stay injury free and Arsenal need more players like the young Englishman. It is clear as to why Stuart Pearce wants the Arsenal star in his team. This is because Jack is far far above the under 21 level and would be a potential tournament winning player for England.

 Jack himself also wants to play at the tournament, as would any youngster who has the chance of winning an international tournament for his country. However it would after all only be an under 21 competition and surely Jack should wait and help lead the full side to glory in Euro 2012 instead. He is already a regular in the full England side and will be a very important player by next Summer.

 Therefore I believe it is in Arsenal's and Jack's best interests for him not to play at the Under-21 tournament this Summer. After all he is only 19 and can't play football constantly from August 2010 to August 2012. He needs a break this Summer to prolong his career and to avoid picking up injuries due to playing too much football. He has the footballing world at his feet and he should wait until Euro 2012 before trying to lead his country to glory.
