Jack Wilshere suffers disappointing Bournemouth debut in loss as ex-Arsenal ace Bielik suffers bloody head injury

JACK WILSHERE made his Bournemouth debut during the 1-0 defeat to Derby on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old struggled to make his mark after he was introduced in the 78th minute.

Jack Wilshere has joined Bournemouth until the end of the season

Ex-Arsenal star Wilshere joined the Cherries on a free transfer in a bid to reignite his career.

Just one day after the move was confirmed, he was named on the bench for Jason Tindall’s side.

He replaced team-mate David Brooks with just 12 minutes of the game left to go.

Wilshere, 29, was unable to inspire his new team to glory and the game ended 1-0 to Derby.

Krystian Bielik bagged the only goal of the game after he suffered a nasty cut above his eye.

The former Arsenal ace hit the deck after an accidental collision with Jefferson Lerma.

He received treatment from Derby’s medical team as blood poured down his face.

But the Polish hardman decided to play on before he found the net in the 32nd minute.

After the match, Bielik said: “We dug in until the final minute today.

“It wasn’t easy but we showed quality, togetherness, energy and we deserved three points.

“We think about the next game now.”

Derby are 21st in the Championship following Wayne Rooney’s first win as permanent manager.
