Van Persie could face Tottenham Hotspur
Robin van Persie could be back in action for Arsenal Football Club by the start of April.
The Dutchman has been sidelined with ankle ligament damage since November, but his international manager is predicting he could be back well before the end of the season.
"I spoke to him on the phone last week and he is improving all the time and feeling better," said Bert van Marwijk. "I hope that he will play at the beginning of April and he feels this is maybe possible."
If van Persie does return in April, he could line up for the Gunners in vital Premier League fixtures against neighbours Tottenham Hotspur and top-four rivals Manchester City.
