Manchester United are sweating on the fitness of striker Robin van Persie after the Dutchman suffered a thigh injury in the 2-0 victory at Queens Park Rangers.
Van Persie, 1.80 to be Premier League topscorer this season, had to be replaced shortly before half-time at Loftus Road after colliding with a pitchside camera, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson hoping that the damage proves not to be too serious.
He told reporters: "He collided with a camera. It seems he hit the base of it and he has got a very bruised hip."
Ferguson also hinted that Van Persie would miss this weekend's home Premier League clash with Norwich City, but he hoped to have the Dutchman available for the crunch Champions League showdown with Real Madrid on Tuesday 5th March.
"We will assess him tomorrow. Hopefully he will be alright for the Real Madrid game," Ferguson added. "He tried to play on, but it was obvious he wasn't going to make it."
United's win at Loftus Road moved them 15 points clear at the top of the table, with Red Devils now 1.02 to secure the title, 3.25 to win the FA Cup and 8.00 to secure Champions League glory.
