    <font size="2">Arsenal striker Robin van Persie will be out for a month after injuring his knee playing for Holland on Wednesday.</font><font size="2">The 24-year-old, who had scored four goals in his last three games for the Gunners, limped off against Slovenia.</font><font size="2">"We will know later how bad it is but the early signs are he will not be able to perform for us the next four weeks.</font><font size="2">"It is a big blow. I hope he will be back soon and we'll do the maximum to get him back," manager Arsene Wenger told the club's official website. </font><font size="2">Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos faces two weeks on the sidelines after picking up a back injury playing in Switzerland's midweek friendly against the USA.</font><font size="2">But defender William Gallas, goalkeeper Jens Lehmann and midfielder Tomas Rosicky have been declared fit for Saturday's home Premier League match against Bolton.</font><font size="2">Van Persie will miss a number of key fixtures as the Champions League restarts next week and Arsenal face Liverpool and Manchester United back to back after the Bolton match. </font></p>

    <font size="2">not as bad as it could have been but i think we have adequate cover in the form of Adebayor, Bendtner, Walcott, Eduardo etc</font></p>

    I saw it on TV, it was pretty bad.</p>

    Hopefully a month is all it takes to heal.</p>
