Defender Johan Djourou has revealed that the injury sustained against Newcastle United on Saturday was not as bad as previously thought.
The Switzerland Football Association has confirmed the 24-year-old is only suffering from bruising.
It was initially feared that the Swiss international would be out for a month, possibly the rest of the season.
With Thomas Vermaelen weeks away from returning to first team action, Djourou's injury news as a relief.
It is even thought that the Swiss international could be fit to return to action this weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
More news as we get it, possibly when there is an official statement from the club.
