Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is upbeat over the knee injury suffered by goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
Valdes, 29, missed Sunday's 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao with a problem in his left knee and, after initial reports suggested he would be out for six to eight weeks, the Spain international is now expected to return in three.
"It looks like he (Valdes) will not be out for one or two months," Guardiola said.
"In any case we have (Jose Manuel) Pinto who has always done well and is an excellent goalkeeper."
