I might just have more wood than Alex Song if he travels. But I doubt it...the Wenger smokescreen's already been used up on Wilshere -- which Jack went on to spoil on twitter.

lolz, no way he's in tomorrow but surely you don't join in training with a ligament tear, small chance vs Utd, good chance vs West Brom? Hope so

Yup...training with the ball seems weird with a recent injury that's meant to keep you out for near a month. But then again, realistic injury timescales don't exist with Van Persie. Maybe Wenger factored in the inevitable set-back into the 3-4 week estimations.
edit: It doesn't really matter either way. If it's not Van Persie who's out, it'll be Fabregas. If it's not Fabregas, it'll be Nasri. If it's not Nasri, it'll be Djourou, Koscielny and Sagna.
I thinks it's a bit too much to expect Ramsey to make his first-team return against the best team in the world in their own cauldron. I'd prefer Chamakh to lead the line over Bendtner, mainly based on his Champions League experience and prospensity for better link-up play (but won't really be unhappy if either is chosen). Rosicky over Diaby or Denilson because, no matter how off form he may be, he can be relied upon to be both more defensively vigilant and put more effort in.
EDIT: van Persie's back!?! Stick him in for Chamakh if fit.
