The player will require a short period of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut a step up from that is a more major ligament injury which would require surgery and many months out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal expect Van Persie to be back in action when Blackburn visit the Emirates on April 2. But despite Wenger having concerns over a number of key players ahead of Saturday&#8217;s clash with Sunderland and Tuesday&#8217;s visit to Barcelona, it is Wolves manager Mick McCarthy who is left scratching his head, with no fewer than eight players currently sidelined.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Treatment Table In Full<br \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/04\/2378003\/treatment-table-arsenal-striker-robin-van-persie-fortunate\" title=\"Treatment Table: Arsenal striker Robin van Persie fortunate not to be out for months after playing on with injury in League Cup final\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Treatment Table: Arsenal striker Robin van Persie fortunate not to be out for months after playing on with injury in League Cup final<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 4 Mar 2011 09:45:00 Carling Cup : Robin van Persie &#8211; Samir Nasri, Arsenal v Birmingham City Related Links Teams Players By Oliver Yew Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger heads into what could be a defining week of his club&#8217;s season without in-form striker Robin van Persie .
