Robin van Persie has handed Arsenal an injury scare.

The Daily Mail says Van Persie failed to complete Holland's training session due to a groin problem.

The Gunners skipper walked off the Wembley pitch for the final 15 minutes of Tuesday's session ahead of the clash against England.

Van Persie went into last night's session carrying a 'very mild' groin problem from Sunday's win over Tottenham, though it was not deemed serious enough to keep him out of meeting up with the Dutch squad.

Arsenal sources insist Van Persie's decision to make an early withdrawal from training was purely precautionary.

Dutch boss Bert van Marwijk is ready to anger the Gunners manager by opting to playing the striker.

"I am optimistic that he will play. We will have to wait and but I don't think it's too serious," said Van Marwijk.
