MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will miss up to six weeks with a left knee injury, ruling the Netherlands striker out of both legs of a Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich and potentially six Premier League games. It is a major blow to Uniteds hopes of winning the Champions League, which realistically is the clubs only route back into Europes top competition next season. Following a second scan on the injury on Friday, United said Van Persie has a "sprained knee which will keep him out for around 4-6 weeks." He appears to be in no danger of missing the World Cup finals in Brazil beginning in mid-June — the worst-case scenario according to Uniteds diagnosis is that Van Persie is out until the start of May, leaving him available for the last two or three league games in Uniteds season. Van Persie, who has scored 23 goals in 29 games for club and country this season, was carried off on a stretcher after hurting his knee in a challenge from behind toward the end of Wednesdays 3-0 victory over Olympiakos, in which he scored a hat trick to send his team into the last eight. United is seventh in the Premier League after its humiliating 3-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend, 12 points adrift of fourth-place Manchester City having played two more games. A finish in the top six would qualify United for next seasons Europa League, and sixth-place Everton is three points ahead with a game in hand. It will be a second significant spell on the sidelines for Van Persie this season — he played just two games across 2 1/2 months over the turn of the year because of groin then thigh problems. The news punctures some of the optimism that has spread through Old Trafford after the victory over Olympiakos, which came just as the pressure was beginning to build on manager David Moyes. Moyes has Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez as alternatives up front to partner Wayne Rooney. Otherwise, Moyes could decide to play Rooney as his main striker and move Juan Mata, signed in January for a record fee of 37.1 million pounds ($61.2 million), into his favoured No. 10 role just in behind. Mata has played out wide in recent games, to little effect. Mike Matheny Cardinals Jersey . Now, Sarah Burkes legacy will live on in Canadas Sports Hall of Fame.

St. Louis Cardinals Store . -- Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson couldnt hear himself amid the roar in Koch Arena, so he kept stomping on the floor in a fruitless attempt to get his teams attention.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With Jacksonville on the verge of its first win of the season, the team mascot dived into one of the pools at EverBank Field.Denard Robinson and the Jaguars defence could have done the same. Then again, they had already made a huge splash.Robinson ran for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, the defence came up big in the red zone, and the Jaguars snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 24-6 victory against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.Jacksonville (1-6) won for the first time since beating Houston on Dec. 15, 2013.The last time I carried the ball 20 times I was in college, said Robinson, a star quarterback at Michigan. Its a great feeling. We knew it was coming. Weve just got to stack them and up and get back to work.Blake Bortles connected with fellow rookie Allen Robinson for a 31-yard score and the games first touchdown. It was really all the Jaguars needed on a day in which coach Gus Bradleys defence delivered time and time again.The Browns (3-3) settled for field goals in two trips inside the 20-yard line and failed to convert on fourth-and-1 at the 24. Equally frustrating for Cleveland was managing just three points off Bortles three interceptions.When you get turnovers, youve got to turn them into points, not field goals, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. When youre only kicking field goals, you start to press.Cleveland, which entered the game with the leagues third-best rushing attack, was held in check most of the day. The Browns ran 30 times for 69 yards, including 36 by Ben Tate.You build your game plan off the run, Jaguars defensive tackle SenDerrick Marks said. If you can run the ball, you can impose your will on them and do almost anything you want to. So thats big for us to go out and stop them, knowing theyre a running team.Jacksonville, meanwhile, ran 35 times for 185 yards — the most in Bradleys two seasons.Robinsons 8-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter provided some cushion, and rookie Storm Johnson added a 4-yard scoring run a few minutes later — the exclamation point in Jacksonvilles third home victory in the last three seasons.We felt like in previous weeks we were within reach of getting wins, Jaguars left tackle Luke Joeckel said. We talked all week about finishing. We had to make plays at thee end of the game, finish it and go win it.ddddddddddddhe Browns certainly helped.Jordan Poyer fumbled a punt return with about six minutes remaining, and Jacksonvilles LaRoy Reynolds recovered for the teams best field position of the day. Robinson scored on the next play.Brian Hoyer lost a fumble that led to a field goal in the third quarter and threw an interception in the fourth. He completed 16 of 41 passes for 215 yards, perhaps rekindling debate about how long first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel will stay on the sideline. Hoyer had been solid all season, but that was with a dynamic running game.The Browns made two changes along their offensive line in an effort to replace Pro Bowl centre Alex Mack. Mack broke his left leg last week and had season-ending surgery. Right guard John Greco slid to centre, and Paul McQuistan, who was with Seattle last season, stepped in at guard.The Jaguars took advantage, getting steady pressure up the middle.When you dont have the best centre in the NFL, you have someone thats less than the best, Browns left tackle Joe Thomas said. But if we had played to our standard, I think we would have been OK.Jacksonville seized momentum late in the second quarter with a fourth-down stop at the 24-yard line. The Browns oddly opted to throw on fourth-and-1. Red Bryant pressured Hoyer, who floated the ball to tight end Jordan Cameron. He couldnt come down with it, and Jacksonville needed just three plays to go 76 yards the other way.Bortles connected with Robinson twice, the second going 31 yards for his first career touchdown.So instead of heading into the locker room up 9-0 or maybe 13-0, the Browns trailed 7-6.This is disappointing, Thomas said. Thats the nature of this league. You win one game and youre crowned Super Bowl champions. You lose a game and youre announced as the worst team in the league. I hope we have the perspective to know thats the way it goes in the NFL.NOTES: Browns failed to score 21 points for first time this season. ... Jaguars have allowed two touchdowns in their last three games. ... Jaguars DE Andre Branch (groin) left the locker room on crutches. ...
