23/02/2013 18:29, Report by Nick Coppack Robin van Persie will be assessed by Manchester United's medical staff after limping out from the Reds' 2-0 win against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday. The Dutchman crashed in to a television camera, found just beyond the by-line, in the build-up to United's first goal. Encouragingly, he performed on for 18 minutes following initial pitchside treatment, but eventuallyAdeparted right before half-time, changed by Danny Welbeck. Friend Alex toldAMUTV after the game: "He collided with a camera, which was in a dug-out piece of ground. He has a very bruised hip." and hit the bottom of it He added on Sky Sports: "I imagine it'll be sore and sensitive for several days but hopefully he'll be okay, especially for the Madrid game [on Tuesday 5 March]." Van Persie joined his team-mates on the bench at Loftus Road to watch the second half, as United turned the screw and, with 10 minutes to play, added a second target to secure three important items. The Reds' next test comes against Norwich City on Saturday 2 March, accompanied by the 2nd leg of the Champions League last 16 wrap against Real Madrid on Tuesday 5 March. More: QPR 0 United 2
