Wenger says van Persie’s injury “doesn’t look good”

Robin van Persie is a doubt for Arsenal’s Champions League second leg clash with Barcelona after sustaining a knee injury in the Carling Cup final defeat against Birmingham.

The Dutchman’s problem, according to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, “doesn’t look good” and means he will certainly sit out Wednesday’s FA Cup replay against Leyton Orient.

An update on van Persie’s injury is expected in the coming days.

    christ on a bicycle, all the moaning c**ts come out demanding for wenger’s head and spunking millions on players. Not saying that the defeat doesn’t hurt, but can’t you moaners grow up and get behind our team? Already predicting a spanking by cuntelona is nothing short of a disgrace. C**ts to a man and woman and dog.

    waiting for the bitches who before the chelsea-united game wanted wenger out to come supporting our team. i cant believe how fake you guys are.
    i justwant our team to win the next pl game, and keep going game after game. i dont carea about man u, if we win, we are point behind them. a point difference is not easy to defend to the remaining of the season. they have hard games, we not so much, but we have to win it game after game, and let the best team win. UP THE ARSENAL!

    @GunnerMKD: Listen mate we all support arsenal, but some of us question wenger not the team. I think we can win the league, and I would love it if we do. But I question our strikers apart from v persie who is made of buisquits, I hope I`m wrong but can`t see Chamack nor nebdtner doing it against Barca, utd, Spuds not to mention Sunderland, also Scechenzney is a great talent, and I hope and pray to all lighty gods that he will keep going, but because of our recent past I WILL NOT get my hopes up. We (the once who question wenger) belive he could have done things differentley and gone for better strikers etc, for me the defence is ok! But listen mate, we all hope for the same things, but the rest of us are optimists with good information;) But belive me I pray sing and dream of an arsenal title as much as anyone else, lets hope for a good game against Orient then we look for Sunderland. Go gunners!!!!!!!

    @ole: yes, i agree, i would also like to see some top strikers in our team next to rvp(who is a real class and if he goes one season injury free, will score 25+, but he is and will not happen to have one whole season),yes, i would like to see a quality, experienced dm next to song and ofcourse a proper cb, but it`s wenger who makes the decisions, so i can understand your anger. it was his choice to start the season with a squad like this, if he fails, he will take responsibility.
    and as i`ve said many times before, if you want some things to change, you have to be active. i suppose you are from london, and you visit all the games arsenal play, so why not put your anger on paper, on biiig paper and show it. if i were you i would do that until i get the attention i want.
    i at the moment support arsene because you can really see the faith he has in these players, but i will never call for his head, because what he is doing is unique and HONESTLY, i cant see who his replacement would be.
    so, support and support, and if you dont like it, express it, simple. :D
    go ARSENAL!

    and for the barca game, i expect bentner up front, but i dont think it will affect the game much as we will defend the 2-1 result, especially if fab doesnt get fit till then

    @GunnerMKD: I agree with you,its not many who can replace wenger, I think we will get some with arsenal DNA;) like bergkamp eventually, but its hard to find an obviouse replacement. But mate I said the same in 1994-1995 season when Graham was in charge for the 12. game in row without scoring, then I think David Hillier scored an offside goal against city;) Also back than I thought arsenal had a great team, talk about naivity;) And look what happened when Grahm left, Rioch started it and wenger completed it and we never looked back. But I`m older now and wiser than before, but I admire your guts mate, and we should all join together now and be positive, we can`t change anything at the moment, than we will see how far we can go. P.s: But if the team perform poorley over the next four games the season is over and people will question wenger, and rightly so, and that is a good thing.

    I don’t understand you people, last year people were cursing Wenger for not bringing in Chamakh last Jan, he comes in this year has a blinding start to the season and dries up. Now it’s Wengers fault!!! Our current forwards need to sort it out and score!!!

    The game on Sunday was not Wengers fault, we should’ve been at least 2-1 up, but saying that our goalkeeper was lucky to be on the pitch!

    I’m not optimistic about our Barca chances without RVP and Walcott, the Catalans really fear them, now they are out they don’t fear us as much!
