England international Jack Wilshere is set to be named in the Arsenal squad for the first time in more than a year at Norwich tomorrow.
Wilshere, 20, has been out for 14 months with ankle and knee injuries, but came through another run-out in midweek as his rehabilitation moves up a gear.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Wilshere would most likely play in another under-21s game against Everton next week, before joining the first team for the Capital One Cup match at Reading on October 30.
However, Wilshere's agent Simon Bayliff said the midfielder would be travelling to Norwich tomorrow.
He wrote on Twitter: "It's been two "good news" days in a row. Doesn't happen very often. Jack travels to Norwich in the AFC 1st team squad! Delighted."
Wenger had earlier warned against rushing Wilshere's comeback when asked if the midfielder could take part in the under-21 European Championship next summer.
"I believe at the moment that is a bit premature. Let's wait until Jack comes back. He has not played in the first team for 14 months," said Wenger.
"Do you know what that is like, 14 months out of competition? Jack works very hard, he is doing well, but let's not go too far."
Wenger added: "There are two aspects. One is the apprehension to go into challenges when you have too many injuries, on that front we are at 100 per cent. We even have to calm him down. He goes for every challenge and has no apprehension.
"Then you have the physical front - he is okay there, then you have the match fitness which is 80 per cent."
