Arsene Wenger has revealed that Robin Van Persie has had scans on the ankle injury sustained in tonight’s victory over Newcastle.
The Dutchman scored a brace of goals and looked lively throughout but limped off after appearing to turn his ankle just after the hour mark.
“He is having an X-ray at the moment,” Wenger remarked after the game. “We have to check his ankle. Hopefully nothing is broken, I don’t know yet,” he added.
Sadly, that sounds rather ominous.
