Robin van Persie injured in Netherlands World Cup qualifier

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was taken off during the Netherlands' 4-1 World Cup qualifying win in Hungary with a thigh injury.

Manager Louis van Gaal moved to play down fears by claiming the substitution had been a "precautionary measure".
Van Persie on target


"It does not seem to be too serious, but we did not want to take any risks," Van Gaal told Dutch broadbaster SBS6.

Van Persie, 29, has scored four goals in three matches since joining United from Arsenal in a £24m deal last month.

Van Persie also scored in the Netherlands' 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Turkey on Friday.

Shinji Kagawa is another injury worry for United having missed Japan's World Cup qualifying victory over Iraq with a back injury.

"I felt a twinge in the back during practice when I was on the ball. I had some treatment but didn't want to risk causing the team trouble by playing," Kagawa told the Kyodo news agency.

"Obviously it's a shame I wasn't able to play. It's not that serious and I don't think it will keep me out for long."

United play Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday.

Guy me no go lie u oo. E go hard. Rooney, Rvp and kagawa injured. Hmmm. ~still thinking~ maybe our young lads hernandez and welbeck will take d day. Meh... still doubtful.

Am an arsenal fan, but I wouldn't want "the man who scores when he wants" to get injured now. He should please recover quickly and keep adding to the EPL excitement with his goals.

you are a fake arsenal fan.true arsenal fans feel betrayed by vanP.his betrayal is even worse than ashley cole's and you're here saying "please recover quickly...blah blah blah".he should remain on the sidelines for the next 1year and see how quickly fergie will offload him.we endured his lacklustre,injury-laden 7year stay,he gives us one season and his ambition is now bigger than ours.he's a buffoon
