Valente was injured in the FA Cup defeat against Blackburn
|
Everton hope Portuguese defender Nuno Valente will only miss two games after being ruled out with a knee injury until the end of the month.
He was carried off in the FA Cup third round defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Valente had a scan and the injury is not as serious as was first feared.
And with Everton out of the FA Cup and a Premiership game against Spurs now postponed, he may only miss matches against Reading and Wigan.
Everton physio Mick Rathbone said: "The scan showed that, although he sprained the knee quite badly, all the major structures of the knee seem okay."
