Arsenal have revealed today that Robin Van Persie is still 2-3 weeks away from a return to first team action. Van Persie suffered a knee injury whilst on International duty in early October and it was hoped that he would make a return against Wigan last weekend. However, a report on the official site quotes Wenger as saying…
“There is still pain. He is not close, he has no chance at all for next week…It will be two or three more weeksâ€
His absence is a further blow to Wenger who seems likely to have to cope without Fabregas for the next few games. Walcott and Eduardo are now likely to get some more games under the belts leading up to the Christmas programme.
