Netherlands captain Robin van Persie has claimed that he is injury free and is looking forward to playing in the World Cup.
The Manchester United forward has been struggling with a knee problem that he picked up during his club's Champions League tie against Olympiacos in March.
Despite a lack of playing time for the Reds towards the end of the season, Van Persie has been named in Louis van Gaal's 30-man provisional squad for the World Cup, and he expects to be fully fit by the time the tournament begins.
"I'm feeling good," The Guardian quotes him as saying. "Mentally I'm fresh. If you play a full season you can be a little bit tired at the end of the season. But I'm fresh, the knee is fine as well so I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm 100%. It's just that I need a full game now. We have three friendlies to play [and] my last game against Southampton [for United] was 67 minutes so hopefully I can play a bit more."
Van Persie is the leading goalscorer for the Netherlands, with 41 goals from his 82 appearances.
