Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has avoided serious injury after victory over Fulham.
The Daily Mail says Guimaraes will be sidelined for a matter of weeks rather than months after a scan on his injured ankle revealed no serious damage.
There were fears the Brazilian could have suffered torn ligaments during Sunday's 1-0 win over Fulham when boss Eddie Howe said afterwards that the player was still in some distress, adding 'that is never a good sign'.
The 25-year-old left the field in tears at half-time after rolling his ankle and playing on for 25 minutes. Howe later admitted he perhaps should have made the substitution before the interval.
However, results from a scan are positive. He is looking at a period of at least a week - or weeks - in the treatment room, but not much longer.
