London: Robin van Persie has shaken off a knock and will be fit for Manchester United's Premier League clash at home to Wigan Athletic on Saturday but defender Phil Jones could be sidelined for up to 10 weeks with a knee injury.
Dutchman Van Persie, who struck a hat-trick in the 3-2 win against Southampton in United's last game, suffered a strain on international duty but manager Alex Ferguson said he had recovered in time for the visit of Wigan.
"On the injury front, everyone's fit, apart from the ones we know about - Jones and Chris Smalling," Ferguson said at his pre-match news conference.
"Jones was a bad blow for us. He got an injury in training last weekend and he'll be out for eight to 10 weeks." Wayne Rooney is still out with a cut leg.
