Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has described Marian Kovacevic as a "miracle".

Van Persie was down in the dumps after suffering his ankle injury last week in action for Holland.

But after undergoing treatment by the controversial Kovacevic at a Serbia clinic, Van Persie is cock-a-hoop over his progress.

Van Persie hailed his treatment 'a miracle' after having horse placenta massaged into his ankle.

As he left her home he told Serbian newspaper Alo: "It's good, I'm happy. The woman is a miracle."
