Arsenal's Robin Van Persie close to comeback
ROBIN VAN PERSIE is close to making his Arsenal comeback after nearly five months out with an ankle injury.
Striker Robin Van Persie has not played since sustaining the injury playing for Holland in November. Arsenal physio Colin Lewin said: “Robin will be joining the squad for full training imminently.”
Johan Djourou and Kieran Gibbs are also set to return. World Cup game and that is why it would be a massive mistake to leave him at home.”
Ancelotti and Capello might not be quite so backward in coming forward if Cole produces another big-game moment at Wembley.
