An Arsenal fan has raised a petition calling on the Football Association to suspend Liverpool defender Daniel Agger for his challenge on Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere sustained a hairline fracture to the navicular bone after colliding with Agger in the early stages of England’s friendly with Denmark on Wednesday evening.

It was revealed on Thursday that the 22-year-old will be sidelined for a crucial six-week period in Arsenal's hunt for silverware.

And Gunners fan Sam Navret has taken exception to the Denmark international's tackle, suggesting it was a calculated measure.

“We, the fans of the famous Arsenal Football Club are calling upon the Football Assosiation to investigate the challenege made on Jack Wilshere by Daniel Agger during the international friendly,” Navret posted.

“In the past few days it has been well-known that Liverpool FC have been on a campaign to destory Arsenal and we, the fans of Arsenal, believe Daniel Agger was instructed by Liverpool’s owner John Henry to target Jack Wilshere during the match.”

“Jack Wilshere will be out for around 6 weeks, another damaging blow to Arsenal and Liverpool FC are to blame for this.”

The petition comes just days after the same Arsenal supporter created an online appeal, ordering Liverpool to release Luis Suarez.

While those demands attracted the signatures of 2,000 like-minded Gunners, only 25 have signed his latest petition.
