Runco, who is still waiting for the results of further tests, said: "Anderson felt an injury to his knee, a twist. However, it doesn't seem so serious. We will be sure only after the MRI scans."

Runco added: "Only after the scans we will be able to make a decision about Anderson's participation in Sunday's match."
