Jack Wilshere is back in contention for England Under 21s' deciding European Championship qualifier in Colchester but coach Stuart Pearce is offering no guarantees that the Arsenal teenager will make the starting XI.

[LNB]That is no longer the case ahead of the game against Lithuania, which England must win, although victory will be no guarantee of progression as one of four group runners-up.[LNB] 'I have seen a touch more focus,' said Pearce of Wilshere.

[LNB]'It is difficult for a young man but the team is much more important than the individual.'
