  Holland boss Marco van Basten has put himself on collision course with Arsenal's French boss Arsene Wenger by naming Robin van Persie in his Holland squad for the friendly with Austria on 26 March.

   

  Van Persie, Arsenal's top scorer last season, has only just returned from a long-standing thigh injury picked up on international duty and Wenger will be reluctant to risk him in a non-competitive match.

  there's pros and cons for this useless match. The pros is that the match will maintain his sharpness and improve his match fitness. the cons is,he might get injured. there's 75% he might not got off frm this match unscathed.

  Van Basten's concern is only with the Holland squad, so he won't really bother with Wenger's problems...
