The Arsenal and Netherlands striker twisted his ankle during the premier league match against Blackburn on Saturday (28/8), 35 minutes after he played. Therefore, he won't be able to take a part for Arsenal's Championship League opener against Braga on Sept 15th, as well as European Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Finland in September. Netherlands called up for Ruud van Nistelrooy to replace him, for the first time in 2 years.
At first, it seems to be a short-term injury, since it was just a twisted ankle. Even after the match, the Arsenal coach said, "It is a twisted ankle.We will have to check but, if we have no bad news, we hope that in eight to ten days he can be okay."
