The 27 year old Dutchman was in action against Hungary last night and helped his side to a 5-3 win, in an absolute goal fest. Van Persie opened the scoring for the Dutch with a drive past Hungary’s keeper, but was substituted at half time with a knee injury. The only positive is that he was able to walk off the field, if you as an Arsenal Fan can see the positive in VP being injured.
He suffered a knee injury in the shock cup final defeat against Birmingham City in February, but made a surprise recovery to face Barcelona in the Champions second leg (only to be sent off to a shocking decision)
It seems that Arsene Wenger, will have more headaches as his star striker can be added to his already long injury list. With fixtures still against ‘New’ Liverpool (as I like to call them now), Spurs and the possible decider to it all Manchester United, it will be key to have Mr glass back in action. From what action he last night he really night he really is on the form of his life and Arsenal will really need him.
Best case scenario is that he pulled himself off just to be safe and he will be ready for action on the 2nd of April when the Gunners meet Blackburn Rovers.
