Van Persie who this season became the captain of the Gunners needed three more goals to get past Alan Shearer that creates a record 36 goals in a year.
However, Wenger worried about Van Persie will be out of gas in the Premier League. Because the former Feyenoord player is never absent even once this season.
"This will be a big sacrifice for him, but I do not know. We will assess the situation in every game," Wenger said as reported by the Mirror Football.
"I do not want to stop it. I am very happy if he is resting, but hopefully he can combine his record and keep fit. You can feel the vibration and you know her history. Then, you just make a decision."
"I did it (to rest Van Persie) in the Champions League because I thought we were pretty safe there. In addition, he was also very tired after the game against Chelsea."
"The important thing for me now is that he stay fit. I know if he is fit, he will score goals. It's that simple," complete Wenger.
For the past record of Shearer, Van Persie has a chance at two games remaining at the end of this year. The Gunners will clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 27 and Queens Park Rangers on December 31, 2011. • VIVAnews
