Wilshere: England World Cup qualifiers my biggest

Jack Wilshere has ranked England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland as his biggest career test to date.

Roy Hodgson's side currently tops Group H by a single point and knows only a maximum return on Friday and next Tuesday will be enough to guarantee progression to Brazil next summer. And Wilshere, who has 10 caps to his name, is aware of the scale of disappointment should England fail to secure qualification.

"Ukraine was a tough game, my biggest to date, but these next two games will be another step up in pressure, no question," Wilshere told Sky Sports News. "It has not surprised me how hard the campaign has been. International football is tough.

"I know a few of the Poland players from Arsenal, and they will not give up easily, Montenegro are the same. It is in our hands now, and we have to get ready for it."

England hosts Montenegro on Friday before Poland makes the trip to Wembley Stadium for the final qualifying game.
