Hope nothing is broken and it is simply bruising but we always be scared for him given his record of injuries.

Bollocks!

That on top of the fact that the two lovely young ladies in their early 20s who I work for and think I'm indespensible and keep giving me presents leaving to be replaced by two men with beards means this weekend hasn't brought much in the way of luck.

He'll be ok (fingers crossed) it's probably only cos of his history that the scan is bein done anyways!

Your right Mrgnu, just think what we could have got out of him over the last few years had it not been injured?

We've been cheated out of happiness, like I was with those two young ladies.

Still life could be worse - you could be an egg.

You only get smashed the once, laid the once and the only bird who sits on yer face is yer mum.

i always wince when he goes in for a tackle,or he gets tackled. when he's fit, he's world class. i hope its just bruising etc.

Wenger didn't sound too worried in the interviews...so hopefully he'll be ok. Anyway, at least RvP has 2 weeks to recover before our next match..away at Blackburn.

Surely he won't play during the international break. The Dutch are only playing Australia.

He needs all the cotton wool + recovery time we can get for him!

I seriuosly doubt it's a break. He walked off without as much as a limp. I think it's more the fact his standing foot got stamped on while he was shooting and the took him off more for precaution.

But then again, it is RVP! God I hope it's not the dreaded metatarsil!!

from Arsenal.com

On Van Persie...

"He can be that link between midfield and the strikers, and it is the way we want to play. i think you could see he was in shape and when he is like that he is very important player for us.

"He is having an X-ray and we have to check his ankle. Hopefully nothing is broken but I don't know yet."
