England boss Roy Hodgson has named Marcus Rashford and Andros Townsend in a 26-man provisional squad for Euro 2016.
Fabian Delph and Danny Drinkwater are also included among the names and Hodgson will need to omit three players before the end of the month.
There's no place for Michael Carrick, Phil Jagielka nor Arsenal's Theo Walcott, who has missed out after losing his Arsenal place recently. Following the announcement, Walcott wrote on Twitter: "I am of course disappointed not to make the squad, but I have spoken with Roy and respect his decision.
"I wish Roy and all the team the best of luck for a successful Euro's."
Tottenham Hotspur's Eric Dier, who is included primarily as a defensive midfielder, can also provide cover in defence.
Roy Hodgson had long indicated that Wilshere, 24, would travel to France if he could prove his fitness and the England boss was present as the Arsenal midfielder made his first start of the season in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, having appeared as a substitute in the club's last two games.
