Van Persie missed Sunday's 2-2 draw at Cardiff City. "Robin's groin is the problem at the moment, his toes [which had previously troubled him] are much better. We are hoping to get both Nemanja Vidic and Robin back as soon as we can. I hope they'll be in contention for Wednesday but I couldn't give you a definitive answer," Moyes said.
