Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared, says his agent.
The 23-year-old had to be substituted after a challenge by Ashley Cole in United's 3-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feared the Mexican may be out for two weeks, but Eduardo Hernandez said: "[The injury is] just a bump, nothing more.
"I expect him to be training without incident on Wednesday."
After the game, Ferguson said: "It was a shocking tackle. Ashley Cole is very reckless at times. Being committed, you can sometimes go over the edge a bit.
"We don't know how Hernandez will be. His leg is very numb."
Hernandez limped off and was sent for tests on Monday but his agent added: "They were looking for a fracture, that's why they ran those tests on him."
United face Leeds in the Carling Cup on Tuesday and Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday.
