In fact we lost Van Persie after 30 minutes, we tried to keep him going in the second half but he was injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a ligament at the back of the knee, a tear in the ligament. It is three to four weeks, I take the short delay because I am an optimist but it could be four. As well it is the international break during that period so whether it is three or four [weeks], for us it is the same.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have two weeks to play now and then there is a two-week break because of international games. We have to hope it is only four; he cannot play before the international break, that is for sure. Let&#8217;s hope he can play after the international break.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I listen to what the medical people say to me and you never know, he can have a setback.
