The Gunners boss is concerned the Dutch striker is failing to

It is touch and go as to whether or no van Persie will be in action
for the hectic Christmas schedule and he is almost certain to miss
the North London derby with Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium on
Saturday, December 22.
"He will be out two or three more weeks," Wenger confirmed. "There
is still pain. He is not close and has no chance at all for next
week."
That means Van persie will miss Wednesday's trip to Newcastle,
Saturday's trek to Middlesbrough and next Tuesday's Champions
League game at home to Steaua Bucharest at the very least.
This is madnesssss!
