BOSS Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed injury concerns surrounding Armando Broja and Adam Armstrong "are not too serious", with the pair possibly even available to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.
Armstrong was withdrawn just before half-time during Saturday's defeat at Arsenal with what appeared to be a calf problem.
Broja then limped off 20 minutes from time with Hasenhuttl explaining after the 3-0 loss how both strikers were struggling with injury.
Asked for an update on the pair ahead of Wednesday's trip to Selhurst Park (7.30pm), Hasenhuttl said: "We are happy that the injuries are not too serious, so it looks good.
"Both couldn’t train today, so we will have a look if it is early enough for Wednesday or if the game comes too early for them.
"We don’t know it yet, but it doesn’t look that bad."
Even if the pair are absent, Hasenhuttl feels there is enough creativity in his side.
"I think we have players that can score goals," said the Austrian.
"We could definitely score more often, this is fact. This is something we have to work on, definitely.
"We showed that we can create a lot of chances, but then the finish or the last pass, or the last action is sometimes not good enough, not creative enough.
"This is something you have to work on, this is a lot with quality, individual quality and this is what we have to develop."
