Arsenal forward Beth Mead has avoided a fracture to her lower leg after she was taken off on a stretcher in Sunday's Women's Super League win at Everton.
The England international, 24, received five minutes of treatment after what appeared an innocuous challenge, and an X-ray confirmed bruising.
Mead will undergo rehabilitation "to get her back to full fitness as soon as possible", the club have said.
No timescale has been given for her return to action.
She has scored one goal in 10 WSL appearances so far in 2019-20.
