James Ball has avoided major injury to his left arm, after leaving the County Ground in an ambulance on Saturday.
Ball was seen with his arm in a brace in the aftermath of the defeat by Crewe Alexandra, after he landed awkwardly from an aerial challenge in the opening minutes of the second half.
The utility player suffered a dislocation in his wrist, but there were initial fears that the problem could be much worse.
Initial X-rays showed there were no fractures, and Ball was then sent for further assessment to establish whether or not there was any ligament disruption within the relevant joint.
