Dutch hand Arsenal boost over Robin van Persie's recovery
2010/01/31 15:19:34
Robin Van Persie is likely to give Arsenal's title hopes a huge boost with a return to fitness in the middle of March, rather than the date of mid-April which had been previously forecast.

The Holland striker, who ruptured ankle ligaments against Italy in November, returned last week to training at Arsenal and is now walking freely again.
And though his club manager, Arsene Wenger, has cautiously set April as a projected return date, doctors in Holland connected to the national team expect him to be ready to play in seven weeks.

That would mean Van Persie would be able to take part in the vital title run-in and participate in the Champions League quarter-finals if Arsenal eliminate Porto in the last 16.

Although the Dutch are keen for Van Persie to play against the USA in a friendly in March, there is no chance of Arsenal releasing the player, given the acrimony between club and country over how the injury was treated in the first instance.

Robin and Bouchra support the foundations who give help in Haïti
2010/01/21 19:45:26

Today, there's a big radio and TV show in Holland to raise money for the foundations who give help to Haïti. The big radio stations are working together for Radio 555 and tonight there's a big TV show on the Dutch television. Bouchra called this afternoon Radio 555 because she and Robin wanted to sell 2 tickets for Arsenal - Manchester United and a signed shirt for Giro 555. The first caller who offered 2500 euro's got the tickets and the shirt.

We think everyone should support the foundations who give help to Haïti in their country!

'Van Persie doing as well as can be expected'

Robin Van Persie is doing as well as can be expected in his recovery from ankle surgery.

That's the verdict of Arsène Wenger, who has been without the Dutch forward since he suffered ligament damage during an international friendly against Italy in November.

Wenger predicted last month that Van Persie would be out for "virtually the rest of the season". That is still the case even though the 26-year-old is making steady progress in his rehabilitation.

"He has come back [to the training ground] and is doing as well as you can at that stage," said Wenger after the Bolton game.

"He is out of his boot and walks normally but he thinks he will be playing mid-April."
