Van Persie back in squad for Tottenham game
Robin Van Persie is back in the Arsenal squad for the North London derby at Tottenham.
The Dutch striker has been sidelined since mid-November with ankle ligament damage but is expected to feature at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night - albeit from the substitutes bench.
"He is in the squad for tomorrow's game," revealed Arsène Wenger at his pre-match press conference.
"It's a bit premature maybe [for Van Persie to start the game] so I will see but he is in the squad. I haven't picked the team yet.
"When I pick a player it means he is fit and sharp and has worked very hard. Of course he lacks match-practice but physically he is ready, he is fit."
