"Manchester United" club's attacking leader Robin van Persie will not be able to help the team for four to six weeks. The Dutchman scored three goals against Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League match, but was carried off the field on a stretcher towards the end of the game. After the match, the 30-year-old striker was examined by Man Utd team doctors and it was revealed that the footballer will be out of action for over a month. This means that R. van Persie will not be able to help the team during the derby against Manchester City, as well as miss both legs of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich. In the Premier League, the Dutchman will also miss matches against West Ham, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Everton, and Norwich City. The good news is that he will likely be able to help the Netherlands national team at the World Cup in Brazil."
