"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manchester United forward Robin van Persie will not play in Sunday\u2019s match against Manchester City as he recovers from an ankle injury, Man United coach Louis van Gaal said.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Van Persie, who returned to training this week, has been out since injuring his ankle in 2-1 loss to Swansea City on Feb. 21 and has missed the squad\u2019s last six matches, five of which have been Manchester United victories.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Van Persie was the club\u2019s leading scorer at the time of the injury. He has 10 goals and two assists in 24 games in the Premier League.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Van Gaal also said that he will take a \"wait and see\" approach over the potential availability of defenders Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;The Return: Planet F\u00FAtbol Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shaw has missed the last five Premier league games, and Smalling missed the Manchester United's 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manchester United is third in the Premier League this season, one point behind Arsenal for second place and eight points behind leader Chelsea.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
