Crystal Palace boss Peter Taylor is hoping that midfielder Tom Soares will be back in action much sooner than expected from an ankle injury.
Soares was injured in the 2-0 home reverse at the hands of Southampton a week ago and the immediate prognosis was that he could be out for up to three months.
However, Taylor now believes the 20-year-old could be back in around a month.
He told the club's official website: "It's not as bad as we first thought and he's having another scan after the bruising goes down.
"We're hopeful that it's only going to be a month, whereas the other night it looked as if it could have been three."
