Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk expects Robin van Persie back in
action by April as he makes good progress recovering from an ankle
injury.
Van Persie was key to the Dutch team's impressive World Cup
qualifying campaign in which it won every game, but he damaged
ligaments playing in a friendly for them in November.
Van Marwijk spoke with Van Persie last week and claimed
Wednesday that the forward is "improving all the time and feeling
better."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger didn't expect Van Persie back
before the end of April.
But Van Marwijk now says that "I hope that he will play at
the beginning of April and he feels this is maybe possible. He is a
very important player for me so it is very important for me that he
is fit."
