The Turkish giants have played down fears over the eye injury suffered by the former Arsenal and Manchester United striker, who clashed innocuously after 37 minutes with a defender for Akhisar Belediyespor in his side’s 3-1 victory.
Van Persie had already put the Turkish giants 1-0 up against Akhisar Belediyespor after 26 minutes, but was then taken off 13 minutes later on a stretcher with a bandage over a bloodied left eye.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, images flooded social media showing Van Persie being carried off the field at the Manisa 19 Mayis Stadium with a bloodied face.

Live footage was shown of RVP being taken outside of the stadium to an ambulance that apparently took 15 minutes to arrive.
