Fenerbahce's Van Persie suffers eye injury

After colliding with a defender, the 33-year-old was stretchered off the pitch with a plaster covering his bloodied left eye.

However, the club insisted that Van Persie had not been badly hurt.

"There was some blood in the pupil. After the first examination, we sent him to an ophthalmologist at the hospital," said a club spokesman.

"We have been told that the situation isn't serious. He's doing well."

Fenerbahce won the game 3-1.
