The Brazilian was forced to leave the training session early on Saturday after feeling pain in his right thigh, and there were fears of a strain.
Dodo still a doubt for this weekend
A formal statement from the club today confirms that tests were performed and showed no lesions to the flexor in the right leg.
This means that a lengthy lay-off will not be required, but Dodo will continue to train separately from the group and work on a full recovery.
It makes him a major doubt to feature in the relegation battle with Hellas Verona at the Stadio Bentegodi on Saturday evening.
The 27-year-old has made 39 competitive appearances for Fiorentina so far this season, contributing two goals and three assists.
The Viola are currently 16th in the Serie A table, just two points clear of the drop zone.
