Wenger in no Robin rush

01 Feb 2008 - 09:38:03

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has vowed to be patient and not rush injured striker Robin van Persie back into action too soon.

The Netherlands international has returned to training this week following a recent thigh muscle injury.

However, after van Persie suffered a recurrence of the problem after being handed a start against Tottenham in the Carling Cup semi-final last month, Wenger is not keen on rushing him back for a second time.

Van Persie, who will not feature against Manchester City on Saturday, has made just 14 appearances for the Gunners this season after being plagued by thigh and knee problems.

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

"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."

Meanwhile, Wenger has also confirmed that Tomas Rosicky will again miss out at the weekend with the Czech international midfielder still struggling with a hamstring problem.
