Van Persie in Gunners squad

12 April 2012

Robin van Persie is back in contention for Arsenal ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield.

The Holland striker had been struggling with a thigh muscle problem and missed the 1-1 Barclays Premier League draw against the Reds at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday but was included in the 18-man squad which travelled to Merseyside.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger rested several players at the weekend, and is likely to recall leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb, Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos to the starting line-up.

Midfielder Abou Diaby is available as his suspension is only domestic, but full-back Bacary Sagna (ankle) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) remain sidelined.
