Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho feared the knee injury he sustained at the weekend was set to sideline him for far longer than a month.
The centre-back is facing up to four weeks out after he strained a medial collateral ligament in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
Carvalho is set to miss several key games for the Blues, but the 30-year-old has revealed he initially feared he could be out of action for far longer.
He said in the Daily Mirror: "I thought the injury was worse at first because I thought my knee had cracked and I feared it would be much more grave.
"The tests show it could be three or four weeks, although that is very bad for me because I have important games for Chelsea and Portugal in October.
"But the Chelsea team showed, no matter what, that they have great character and pride by getting a point against Manchester United."
