Speaking to Arsenal TV Online, coach Wenger reflected on van Persie’s progress:
“There is still a little chance; we monitor his progress and he is doing very, very well. Physically he is quite sharp.
“The fitness coach Tony Colbert went to test his fitness and he is in quite a good condition.
“When he is ready to kick the ball again he will come back from his rehabilitation and it will still take three weeks. If you add him coming back plus three weeks we will still be in May.”
