During a press conference on Tuesday, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal explained why striker Robin van Persie was training separately from the rest of the squad during the morning session, saying, "He has some stomach problems, some intestinal problems, so it's best not to train him."
"I don't know if he'll be one hundred percent tomorrow," continued van Gaal. "We have more than one day's time, I can't decide yet. Obviously, van Persie is a very important player for us, but he has to be fit."
