Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos is optimistic that Joseph Opoku did not suffer a serious injury during their 3-0 win at Derby County.
Summer signing Opoku put the Swans in front after 90 seconds before being forced off with a cut foot midway through the first half.
The Ghanaian international was reluctant to go down, and seemingly signalled his desire to continue after an impressive start at Pride Park.
"He had a cut on his foot; it was deep and really bleeding. It was really painful for him. That is why he had to come out," said Matos.
"He could not cope with the rest of the game. I don't believe [he will be out for a long period of time].
"It's more about healing that and then going again. [It's] nothing major."
Opoku, who joined from Belgian club Zulte Waregem in the summer, has made a fast start to life in South Wales, scoring twice in three Championship appearances.
