Arsenal star RvP's shock treatment

Arsenal's striker Robin van Persie will be having 'revolutionary' treatment on his damaged ankle to help him return to action more quickly. It is understood the treatment includes being massaged with human placenta.

"I will fly to the Balkans to meet with a female doctor who helped [PSV Eindhoven midfielder] Danko Lazovic," the frontman said.

"She is vague about her methods but I know she massages you using fluid from a placenta. I am going to try. It cannot hurt and, if it helps, it helps. I have been in contact with Arsenal physiotherapists and they have let me do it."
