Sunderland striker Connor Wickham has revealed that the injury he sustained at the weekend was not as serious as originally feared.
The 18-year-old was stretchered off after two minutes as the Black Cats slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
Manager Steve Bruce admitted after the match that his centre-forward may have suffered a lengthy injury, although no longer appears to be the case.
"Scans showing injury not as bad as first thought, waiting to see a knee specialist later in the week," Wickham wrote on Twitter.
The youngster joined Sunderland in the summer from Championship side Ipswich Town.
