World Cup

Robin van Persie "so gutted" for Kevin Strootman

By , Features Editor |
Netherlands forward Robin van Persie expresses his sympathy to his teammate Kevin Strootman, who will miss the World Cup with a knee injury.

Robin van Persie has bemoaned the knee injury that his Netherlands teammate Kevin Strootman has picked up.

The midfielder suffered cruciate ligament damage to his knee during Roma's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Napoli last night, which in turn has ruled him out of the World Cup.

Reflecting on the news, Manchester United striker Van Persie has admitted that he is "gutted" for the 24-year-old.


England's Theo Walcott and Colombia striker Radamel Falcao are also expected to miss the tournament in Brazil with the same injury.ID:143500: cacheID:143500:1false2false3false:QQ:: from db desktop :LenBod:restore:2090:
