Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Robin van Persie's recovery from an ankle injury is progressing well and the striker could be back in action for the Gunners in late April. The striker will begin intensive fitness work soon and Wenger is hopeful for a late spring date for his return if everything stays on track. The sports betting online markets predict a match in April for RVP.
“If you ask me is it the beginning of April, I would say categorically no because he has not started any real fitness work yet,” said Wenger at his Friday press conference. Once he starts that, it will take at least six weeks.
“Maybe [he will be back] at the end of April if all goes well. If there is no set-back, he should be back before the end of the season but it is very difficult to predict. "
Meanwhile, Wenger also revealed that he would be leaving a decision as to whether to include veteran defender Sol Campbell in his squad for the weekend visit of Sunderland as late as possible.
