Manager Arsène Wenger has said he will not be looking to rush striker Robin van Persie back from injury.

The Dutchman has had a horrible season with injuries and will not be rushed back into action this time around.

van Persie looks like he will miss today's clash with Manchester City, but could face Italians AC Milan on February 20.

Wenger said: "After last time we have decided not to push him and give him the needed time. It has all gone well.

"I don't want to set any timescale because that means, if he is not ready by that date, I might feel I have to push him."

My concerns are, that with wengers seeming reluctance to rotate the first team when playing well, added to adebayors prolific form and eduardos emergance as the striker we all hoped he would be, Van the man may struggle to regain his mantle as the gunners main striker or even get back in the team on a regular basis. Saying that i personally cant wait to see VP back and tormenting defences. Goal of the entire season for me - VP's drag back and rocket against inter pre season, Bergkamp standard.

i would like to thank the arsenal staff for not rushing VP back this time as we the fans would love nothing more than to have a fully fit VP for a whole season rather than to have him rushed back for a few weeks and unfit for 6 months. please VP take your time to recover.
