l'infortunio è più grave del previsto, adesso si parla di 4 o 5 mesi

Arsenal have suffered a huge blow after confirming Robin van Persie will be out for at least four months with his ankle injury.

Van Perside suffered extensive ligament damaged whilst playing for Holland against Italy earlier this month.

The initial prognoses suggested around six weeks out, although van Persie did travel to Serbia for revolutionary treatment which saw horse placenta rubbed into the injury.

It was hoped the placenta treatment would see van Persie return within a month - but now upon his return, Arsenal's medical team have revealed that the Dutchman needs surgery and will not play again until April - but it could even rule him out for the rest of the season.

A club statement said: "Robin Van Persie returned to Arsenal on November 22nd following an ankle injury sustained whilst on international duty with Holland.

"The injury was expected to keep him out of action for between four and six weeks.

"Upon his return, the Arsenal medical team conducted a thorough review of his scans, his early injury management and the treatment he had received.

"Having scrutinised these in detail and assessed the response of his ankle, the Club's medical team concluded that further investigation and opinion was required.

"Advice was sought from the leading ankle specialist Mr Niek van Dijk, who confirmed that more extensive damage had been suffered than was first diagnosed.

"In order to repair his ankle, Robin will undergo surgery next week in Amsterdam to reconstruct the ligaments. The club's medical team anticipate that a full recovery will take between four and five months."

Càzzo se i tempi sono questi mi dispiace. L'Arsenal aveva iniziato a macinare e perdere lui per tutta la stagione è un bel colpo basso.

Mito, credi che a questo punto interverrà sul mercato a gennaio Wenger? Ci sono soldi da spendere?

dipende da come andrà da qui a dicembre, se trova una soluzione alternativa penso che non prenderà nessuno

boh, sembrerebbe di si, ma Wenger non li vuole spendere

Devo iniziare a preoccuparmi sul serio?

in estate volevano l'attaccante marocchino del Bordeaux, adesso non saprei

io squalificherei Chiellini finche' Van Persie non torna in campo..cosi gli si fa passare la voglia di stroncare le carriere ai colleghi.

Entrata palla piena.
