Arsene Wenger admits he feels 'very responsible' for former Arsenal stars Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey's injury woes - as both now struggle to get game time

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he feels 'very responsible' for the injuries that Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey suffered when they were young prospects.

Wenger, who is now FIFA's chief of global development, believes that VAR has been hugely important for the game in terms of reducing the unfair treatment that some creative players received from opponents.

Wilshere and Ramsey both had lengthy spells out injured at Arsenal, with Wilshere missing the entire 2011-12 campaign with a stress fracture in his ankle, while Ramsey's leg was broken following a challenge from Ryan Shawcross while playing against Stoke in 2010.
