Arsenal Confirm 6 Week van Persie Absence
The Arsenal medical team have estimated that injured striker, Robin van Persie will be out for anything up to 6 weeks.
As reported over the weekend, the Dutch striker was stretchered off in a 0-0 international friendly between Holland and Italy, and the initial prognosis was not a good one, with suggestions that van Persie could be out from anything from 3 months to the rest of the season.
However, it's been made official on Arsenal.com that Robin should be back within 6 weeks .... just in time for the hectic Christmas schedule.
That's not too bad is it?

its bad enough,you also have to add a couple of weeks to get his match fitness back up,so it looks like he will be "back" for mid january
fran merida
Factor in our legendary form in diagnostics (Rosicky will be "out for days not weeks") and I'd be quite happy if he was back for mid January. I'd sign for that now.

I wonder if this is a 'Nasri' six weeks?!?!

I am no expert, but ankle ligament damage is difficult to predict. I had ankle ligament damage and played through it although less. Because i kept playing injured it bothered me for 5-6 months. I would play on it and then miss a few of my weekly games and so on. I would say from my own and others experience that he would unlikey to be back in under a month. 3-4 weeks of doing nothing and a week or 2 of light training before playing properly

Ditto! I'd be thrilled if we see RvP back in January. :)
GoonerLou
My reaction is unprintable here, I'll be thrown off the blog. This ruined my whole weekend.

Hey cheer up Jaelle, Eduardo scored a brace for Croatia! He WILL step up! I'm just hoping he can stay fit at least until Nick comes back so they could sort of rotate as they should be eased back into the team from injuries. No worries!
GoonerLou
Persie will be missed in the big games - but luckily we have a couple other proven big game players who can step up (Nasri Man Utd, Cesc AC Milan, Arshavin Liverpool)

He is currently having placenta Juice rubbed into the injury to aid his recovery?! Hopefully it doesnt belong to Tom Huddlestone who surely must have given birth by now?

"He is currently having placenta Juice rubbed into the injury to aid his recovery?!" -- iceman, was that a joke??? Lou, I do love Eduardo but I just don't think he is as effective a link-up man as RVP is up front. Also, every time he plays 1 or 2 games, he gets another niggling injury and stays out another 2 games. I'm hoping for the best of course, I really want to see Eduardo shine and make all the haters from the Celtic penalty incident eat humble pie. According to physio.com, Bendtner is due to return in time for the Chelsea game. C'mon Nick! Would be great to see them both take advantage of RVP's absence and really take off as major successes for the rest of the season.
jaelle
I'll believe it when I see it!

No joke jaelle. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1228288/Are-100-placenta-sure-work-Robin-Arsenal-striker-Van-Persie-uses-afterbirth-fluid-aid-ankle-injury-recovery.html?ITO=1490

...Lets not forget RvP's dead ball influence; who will give us some of those wicked in-swingers from our right side of the flanks, at set pieces? and the corner kicks? The manager has to do some effective chopping and changing to cover for his usually brilliant shifts.
Naijagunner
Gutted, the bafoon got off lighter then they 1st thought!!! However glad to see he is out of action to help you not win the title!!!
E17YID
this sort obsession from you spuddies is a sickness, you know that right?
TPowell
Brian Harvey is a spurs fan.
iceman10
Its great when a Spurs fan talks about us not winning the title, when is the last time spurs won the league? 15 years since they finished above us right?
bootoo
gibbs injured??
paul_ownz
Gibbs too? Maybe the Manager should not have gone off all about how the injury prospects grow in November. Now, I am concerned about the games tomorrow involving our lads (France, Russia, Ivory Cost).
