Sandro completes West Bromwich loan move
West Bromwich Albion have completed the loan signing of Queens Park Rangers midfielder Sandro.
The Premier League club confirmed on Friday that the Brazil international, who last played for his country in 2012, has undergone a successful medical and joined them until the end of the season.
West Bromwich have the option to make the move a permanent one at the end of the campaign.
Sandro, who has been given the number 30 shirt, was delighted to make a return to Premier League football after spending the first half of the season with QPR in the Championship.
"I spoke to the manager and was impressed. This is a big club and I feel happy to be here and very happy to be back in the Premier League."
"I believe I have a lot to offer. It was my first day today and I am looking forward to being part of this family."
"As a player I play with my heart, I give all I can on the pitch - all the time I want to win the ball and play the ball. I hope the fans will see the best of me during my time."
Wilshere suffers another injury set-back
Jack Wilshere is expected to be out of action until mid-March, as his lengthy recovery from a fractured fibula continues to drag on.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had previously stated his optimism that his central midfielder would return to fitness by the end of February.
However, the French manager has now confirmed the England international is still a while off returning to the first-team, with his hopes of a EURO 2016 squad place beginning to dwindle.
"Jack is starting to run", Wenger told reporters.
"Once you move out, from the first day, you count 6 weeks to be competitive and build up stamina and intensity. You need 6 weeks to be ready fitness-wise."
Wilshere has not made a single appearance for Arsenal all season after suffering an injury in training on the eve of this season's Community Shield.
The 24-year-old continues to be plagued by injuries and has seen his recuperation set back following surgery in mid-September.
