QPR striker Charlie Austin is set to miss just one match after limping away from Loftus Road on crutches after their 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday.
A long-term injury to their 13-goal top scorer would have been disastrous for the west Londoners in their bid to survive in the Premier League.
However, a statement released on the club's official Twitter account on Sunday morning read: "@chazaustin9 has suffered bruising to his right foot and will miss Tuesday's trip to @SunderlandAFC. Nothing too serious £QPR.''
Scan done. Delighted to say I've NOT broken a bone in my foot! Hopefully back in a week or two! http://t.co/uRnzLEfx4H

However, there was worse news for defenders Richard Dunne and Nedum Onuoha.
A statement read: "Richard Dunne is set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines owing to a knee injury.
"The Irishman sustained a medial cruciate ligament injury to his right knee in the R's 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday and is expected to be out for up to three months.
"Meanwhile, fellow defender Nedum Onuoha sustained a hamstring injury against the Saints and will be sidelined for approximately 3-4 weeks."
