The Swiss football association says Johan Djourou could play in a 2012 European Championship qualifier next week despite dislocating his right shoulder playing for Arsenal.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Djourou's season was over after sustaining the injury in a 2-0 loss against Manchester United in the FA Cup on Saturday.
But the Swiss FA says the damage is not as bad as initially feared after the 24-year-old defender underwent extensive tests Monday.
Swiss team doctors found Djourou did not break any bones and his shoulder ligaments were not seriously strained.
