EPL: Van Persie on the way back
could be back in action before the end of
the season after making a quicker than
expected return to fitness.
Van Persie was ruled out for six weeks
after suffering a knee injury in the UEFA
Champions League win over Olympiakos
last month.
The Dutchman returned to light training
last Friday and he could be in contention to
face Sunderland this weekend if he comes
through this week's training unscathed.
United interim manager Ryan Giggs admits
they will assess Van Persie's fitness this
week before deciding if he will return to
action against Sunderland.
"We'll just have to wait and see how he
goes this week," Giggs is quoted as saying
in the Daily Mail.
"He came back last Friday and he trained
well. He just needs to work on his fitness
now so, yeah, he looked great."
The news of Van Persie's fitness will come
as a boost to Holland as they will be
hoping the striker will be back to full
fitness ahead of this summer's World Cup
finals.
