ROBIN VAN PERSIE has surprisingly been included in Arsenal’s 19-man squad for tomorrow’s Champions League match against Barcelona at Camp Nou.
The Netherlands striker was expected to miss the second leg of the last-16 match after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger last week ruled him out for up to a month because of a knee injury.
However, Van Persie trained with the Gunners earlier and will travel to Spain with the rest of the squad.
Midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere, who had both been injury doubts for the match, were also included in the squad, which will be cut down to 18 players for the game.
