Mamadou Sakho has escaped suffering serious injury and could play again before the end of the season.
The Crystal Palace defender, who has enjoyed a revival in form and fortunes since leaving Liverpool on loan, looked to have sustained a serious issue when he hyperextended his knee in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Wednesday.
There were fears that it could be an anterior cruciate ligament or a possible medial ligament tear, which would have meant months on the sidelines and jeopardised his chances of securing a permanent move from Anfield in the summer.
However, scans have shown that the France international has done nothing more than sustain serious bruising.
