Robin van Persie will return to Arsenal this week but it will be at least a month until he is playing again, according to Arsène Wenger.
The striker has been out since November after suffering ankle ligament damage while playing for Holland in an international friendly against Italy.
During February Wenger stated that the 26-year-old could return to action in late April - but only if his recovery stays on track.
Speaking after Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham United on Saturday, Wenger hadn't changed his assessment of Robin's condition.
"I think he will be back [with the Club] this week," said the manager.
"We sent our fitness coach out to Holland where Robin has been having his rehabilitation. Physically he looks very sharp but we aim at least to wait a month."
