Jack Wilshere admits he needs to change his playing techniques in order to avoid further injuries.
The 24-year-old featured just three times for Arsenal last season and has been sent out on loan to Bournemouth in a bid to recapture his form.
Wilshere has been sidelined with ankle and knee problems over the past year, and the midfielder is aiming to be 'smarter' on the pitch in an effort to stop his injuries.
'I am exactly like everyone else, I want to stay fit. All my injuries have been impact injuries and tackles,' said Wilshere.
'I am trying to be smarter, maybe give the ball earlier and not over run it and in training work on certain things.
'I am working on improving certain aspects of my game. I am a player who likes to run with the ball close to my feet under my control.
'If I see a tackle coming I can pop it off and go again and avoid the tackle.
'I will always say I haven't played enough football and it will take me a few games. I have missed the fight and the intensity of the Premier League.
'Last week against Everton was the first game I felt back to myself and had a little burst when I was on the ball to beat someone.'
