Southampton striker Danny Ings' knee injury does not appear to be as serious as first thought following a scan.
After the match, Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said the injury to Ings' left knee did not "look good".
But the club said on Monday that "the initial results" of Ings' scan "are favourable" with further assessment over the coming days.
"After having the scan on Sunday night, the club conducted a further assessment of Ings this morning and will continue to monitor him throughout the week," Southampton added.
Ings is due another scan and it has not been entirely ruled out that he might play against Newcastle on Friday.
