Robin Van Persie's wife tease her husband after gruesome eye injury.....The player also thank fans and medical teams to helping out (Photos)

Robin van Persie is on the road to recovery following a gruesome eye injury recently sustained while playing for Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The former Manchester United star had been enjoying a solid performance against Akhisar, opening the scoring with a fine effort, but was then later involved in a nasty incident.

The Dutchman was involved in a penalty area collision with his counterpart Abdulwahid Sissoko.

After receiving medical attention Van Persie had to be removed from the field on a stretcher in visible discomfort, while blood could be seen coming from beneath a bandage on the striker's eye.

But the Dutchman has since made a solid recovery, and was pictured this week relaxing in the sun with his wife Bouchra.

While relieved to have her husband back well again, she admitted Van Persie's injuries in the aftermath of the collision were like that of a boxer.

Posting on social media platform Instagram Bouchra said: 'looking good again. He looked like a boxer.'

The image comes after Van Persie himself sought to reassure concerned fans that his eye injury was not as serious as it initially looked.

The 33-year-old had taken to his Twitter account in the aftermath of the incident to thank the sporting world for their well wishing and let them know he was 'all good' following hospital tests.
