Leeds United have provided more clarification on the status of the Daniel James injury and eased some of the speculation surrounding the severity of the problem.
It was revealed earlier today that the winger sustained an injury in training this week, sparking fears he could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with speculation suggesting it may keep him out for months.
In the absence of clear communications, rumours took hold of the narrative, and there were suggestions that he could miss the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury.
Wales boss Craig Bellamy eased some of the fears by insisting that it was not a knee injury, and he was waiting for more updates on what he believed was nothing more than an ankle problem.
