Atletico Madrid have confirmed that Antoine Griezmann did not sustain a broken foot during France's 2-1 win over Sweden on Friday.
The 25-year-old was replaced in the 88th minute of the World Cup qualifier by Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante at the Stade de France.
There were fears that Griezmann had fractured a bone in his foot, but the La Liga outfit have confirmed that the injury was not as bad as first feared.
"In the X-ray that was completed, an injury to the bone was ruled out, and the diagnosis indicates that he has suffered a trauma with a haematoma on the left foot," Atletico said in a statement.
"On Monday, he will continue with a new course of treatment and his recovery will continue to be assessed."
The striker has returned to Madrid to start his recovery and will miss France's friendly against the Ivory Coast in Lens on Tuesday.
