Arsenal striker Van Persie all-clear for World Cup semi

Robin van Persie is fit for Holland's World Cup semi against Uruguay.

The Arsenal striker was a major doubt after damaging his left elbow in last week's 2-1 quarter-final win over Brazil.

But a hospital scan confirmed Van Persie would not have to miss the Cape Town showdown.

A Holland spokesman said: "It's good news for us.

"Van Persie trained but not with the group, so that he did not have any physical contact with the other players."
