Manchester United received injury cheer as well as being dealt a new blow following their 5-0 win at Fulham.
An x-ray has revealed centre-back Phil Jones has not fractured his cheekbone.
United feared they may lose the 19-year-old for six weeks after he was caught in the face by the flaying elbow of Clint Dempsey.
However, the good news was tempered by the fact Ashley Young will be out for three weeks with a knee injury after being scythed down by Dickson Etuhu.
