There’s not a lot to resolve at the moment with the player.” Alexis netted 24 goals and added 10 assists for the Gunners last season before helping his country to the Confederations Cup final, and the Arsenal boss doesn't expect him back with the side until the end of the month.  “Players like Alexis Sanchez played the whole season, finished the season really tired and went off to play in the Confederations Cup," Wenger said. “You can’t tell them they are not having a holiday and must come back and continue, it’s impossible.“Usually you need three weeks but they will have a programme and can be involved after one week to ten days, and play a part in games.“It also depends on the shape they come back in.” Wenger, who has already seen his side bring in Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette in a record move this summer, also believes the Gunners will be able to hold on to midfielder Jack Wilshere, who spent last season on loan and have been linked with moves away from the club this summer.  "I think Jack will be with Arsenal next season, yes," said Wenger. "I will give you a very focused answer on that, that he has to work hard to come back and fight for a place in the team. "But once he is ready, when he comes back, he will not be far from practising with the team."</blockquote>
