Robin van Persie unsure over place in Dutch starting lineup

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has admitted that he does not know if his club form will be enough to earn a place in the Netherlands starting lineup at Euro 2012.

Van Persie has excelled in front of goal for the Gunners, but Dutch compatriot Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has rivalled the 29-year-old's strike rate for his club, FC Schalke.

Despite starting his country's 2-0 win over Slovakia last week, Van Persie acknowledges that he faces a fight for his place in the side.

Van Persie told OnsOranje: "I do not know if I am the number one striker.

"Van Marwijk will go for a striker that works well with the middle, and that can be either Klass or myself."

Netherlands commence Euro 2012 with a match against Denmark on June 9.
