Van Persie Likely to Miss Game vs. Italy

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie will join the rest of the Dutch national team as they prepare for the upcoming Euro 2008, but he is unlikely to play in the teams first game against Italy due to injury.

Van Persie had been training separately from the rest of his Dutch teammates. 

Van Persie has been injured for most of the season as he has only played in 15 league games this season for Arsenal.

If Van Persie does play he will be a huge help to that squad as he was their leading scorer in the Euro 08 qualifying games with 4 goals.
