'Managers don't trust Wilshere'
Micah Richards
Former Man City defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
I think it just gets to a stage where the manager just doesn't trust you. I had a period under Dean Smith where I was fit enough to play but not fit enough for the standard they wanted. I lost their belief and their trust.
I think for Jack Wilshere now, managers just don't trust him anymore, and it's sad because I don't like to see that of any player. He's still only 28 and we all know he's got great ability but he just hasn't managed to do it often enough and unfortunately for him, injury has played a massive part in it.
I feel his pain. When you've been hampered by so many injuries and you're trying to get back and trying to prove to people you can do it and you're almost trying too hard, I feel for him.
He's only 28 and he's still got time. We know he's not going to be a top four - maybe not even top eight player anymore, there will be someone out there that will trust him.
