Manchester United striker Robin van Persie should be replaced in a 2014 World Cup qualifying match Netherlands against Hungary with a thigh injury on Tuesday night (11/09).
Dutch manager, Louis van Gaal, said Van Persie injury was not too serious, but he decided to withdraw the player to watch.
"It did not seem too bad, but we did not want to take the risk," said Van Gaal told the Dutch media, SBS6.
In the qualifying round in Hungary, the Netherlands won 4-1 over the host.
Since joining Manchester United last month with a transfer value of £ 24 million (around Rp370 billion), Van Persie has scored four goals in three games.
29-year-old striker also scored as the Netherlands beat Turkey 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier on Friday (07/09).

If it turns out is a serious injury, Manchester United might not be able to lose Van Persie in the match against Wigan Athletic in the Premier League continued on Saturday.
What is also not in perfect physical condition is a player from Japan, Shinji Kagawa.
He suffered a back injury just an hour before the World Cup qualifying match between Japan and Iraq on Tuesday night.
"In practice I felt there was something wrong on my back, especially when the dribble," said Kagawa told Kyodo news agency.
"I care, but I decided not to go down because I am worried it will reduce the performance of a team game," said Kagawa.
"It is unfortunate that I can not play (for Japan). Injury I was not too worried and I hope to play again soon," he said.
