Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Christian Eriksen suffered no ligament damage to his ankle while on international duty with Denmark.
The midfielder suffered the injury during Friday's 2-1 win over Norway, with manager Martin Olsen having admitted after the match that he had probably ruptured his ligaments.
However, Premier League outfit Spurs revealed this afternoon that following a scan, the problem is not as bad as was first feared.
"After an MRI scan it's been determined that @ChrisEriksen8 suffered a sprain of the lateral ankle ligaments playing for Denmark on Friday," read a message on the club's official Twitter page.
"Christian's scan showed no sign of ruptured ligaments which will result in a shorter period of recovery for the attacking midfielder."
Eriksen joined the North Londoners from Ajax during the summer.
