Arsenal's van Persie withdrawn from Holland squad

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has left the Netherlands training camp ahead of Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Macedonia.

van Persie has a groin injury and will take no part in the match after scoring on the weekend against Scotland.

His run with injuries this season has been frustrating and this fresh problem is bad news for both the Oranje and the Gunners.
