Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised Jack Wilshere for his "remarkable strength" and believes the midfielder is ready for an England recall.
Wilshere scored his first Premier League goal since May 2015 with the opener in Arsenal's 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Wednesday.
"I think he is at the level now where not many people expected him to be," Wenger told a news conference.
"When was the last time he played for England? Exactly, against Iceland [at Euro 2016], he came on.
"Since he has not played for England and I would say that means that everybody had given up on him. Today, nobody would be surprised if he was selected again.
"So that means instances of us being criticised for that, I think first of all he deserves a great credit for remarkable strength and we do as well."
