Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will miss FIFA's Ballon d'Or awarding ceremony as he undergoes a scan on his ankle, according to a report in the press.
Van Persie was substituted during United's 1-0 defeat to Southampton at Old Trafford in the Premier League, with the frontman seemingly leaving the field rather gingerly.
InsideFutbol reports that the Dutchman will not attend FIFA's annual awards ceremony in Zurich where he is up for the Goal of the Year accolade, as the Red Devils aim to discover the extent of any potential injury.
Van Persie's United side currently sit in fourth position in the Premier League table.
