An ankle injury suffered by Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic does not appear to be as serious as initially feared.
The key striker, who has scored 18 goals for his promotion-chasing side this season, was stretched off during the 1-0 win at Hull City on Saturday.
Manager Scott Parker feared the worst but now believes Mitrovic could be back in action sooner rather than later.
Parker said: “Initially, we were nervous and he left the stadium in a boot. But he’s quite robust.
“We were worried it might have be a little bit longer but, although there is damage there, we hope we can turn him around in a few weeks.”
