Van Persie Could Make Shock Return Against Tottenham

Robin Van Persie is in line to make his comeback from injury in Arsenal's crucial Premier League encounter with Tottenham tomorrow (April 14th).

The Dutchman has been injured since November after he ruptured ankle ligaments in a friendly game against Italy, but he is now fully fit.

Arsenal are 6/5 with Extrabet(Go to Extrabet ») to claim the three points, while Stan James(Go to Stan James ») is offering odds of 11/5 on their opponents emerging victorious.

The striker is still the club's joint-third top goal scorer despite being sidelined for the past five months, a possible indication of how much they have missed him.

Statistics also highlight the 26-year-old's importance to the team. The Gunners found the back of the net 3.26 times a game before he was struck down, whereas that figure has dropped to 1.77 in his absence.

With their captain Cesc Fabregas already ruled out for the rest of the season, Van Persie's return could be even timelier.
