  Desperate housewife treatment: Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie off to Serbia to have placenta rubbed on damaged ankle

   

  

  OUT ... Giorgio Chiellini's foul on Robin van Persie has sidelined the Dutchman for six weeks

   

   

  Robin van Persie will ask a Serbian housewife to massage placenta fluid into his injured ankle in a bizarre and desperate bid to return to action for Arsenal within a month.

  VAN PERSIE has flown to Serbia for crackpot medical treatment which involves rubbing horse placenta into his damaged ankle. 

  The Arsenal striker, who feared he could be out for the rest of the season, has now been told he could be back within SIXWEEKS. 

  But Sun doctor Carol Cooper last night warned the wacky treatment will probably be a waste of time. 

  Van Persie said: "I am going to receive treatment from a female doctor. She is vague about her methods but I know she first massages you for a long time with placenta fluid. I'm going to give it a try. 

  "It can't do any harm and if it helps it helps. 

  "I have been in contact with Arsenal's chief physio about it. The club has allowed me to have this treatment done." 

  Van Persie, injured playing for Holland against Italy on Saturday, added: "It appears from the scan that my ankle ligament is almost entirely torn off at the point where Giorgio Chiellini caught me. However, I know it was not intentional." 

  The Sun's Dr Cooper said: "A placenta contains a number of proteins but it's completely unproven. 

  "The placenta has probably come from a large animal such as a horse. 

  "I'm not sure whether the treatment will make much of a difference." 

  Van Persie, 26, will report to boss Arsene Wenger again on Thursday when he sees Arsenal's medical staff.
