Cesc Fabregas was amazed as anyone when Robin Van Persie decided to join in the Arsenal training session yesterday morning, and says that this was not any part of “mind games” on Arsene Wenger’s part.
In fact he said that even Van Persie was surprised that he felt good enough to try playing so quickly. Fabregas said: “Robin is a very important player for us, he is the perfect striker, he can do everything and understands the game very, very well.”
“For a midfielder to have a player like him, it is fantastic because he gives you all the options that you need.
“I was very surprised to hear he was in the squad because this Monday morning we did not know anything about it. He woke up feeling great and said he wanted to try and practice. No-one wanted to cheat on anyone, it has been a surprise on the whole team.
“He was bandaging his ankle for training and said ‘I am doing great and I want to try. Let’s see how I feel tomorrow’. If he is fit to play, it would be very good.”
If this is truly a miracle healing, then perhaps the gods are looking kindly on Arsenal today!
