Robin van Persie set to play against England

The 28-year old failed to complete the Oranje's training session on Tuesday after suffering a tightness in his groin, a concern which would not only have worried national team coach Bert van Mawijk but also club boss Arsene Wenger. Van Persie sat out the remainder of the session at Wembley - however, the scare is thought to be minor. The former Feyenoord man will undergo a fitness test before the match along with the rest of the squad, but those at the helm of the Dutch FA have confirmed that the striker is at full health and are confident that he will feature. Van Persie is 19/10 to score anytime against England with Sportingbet. With 33 goals for club and country to his name already this season, the Gunners star will be looking to extend his purple patch against England and could find himself pitted against club colleague Theo Walcott, who was selected as part of Stuart Pearce's squad. The friendly will also see Scott Parker make his bow as Three Lions captain.
