West Ham will treat Lucas Paqueta's shoulder injury with great care because of the unusual nature of the problem, manager David Moyes said on Friday.
Having initially feared the Brazil international midfielder might miss the World Cup after suffering the injury late on in last weekend's draw with Southampton, the Hammers are now optimistic his absence will not be long term.
But Moyes remains wary, telling a press conference: 'We don't think Lucas Paqueta's injury is as serious as first feared.
But the injury is not one that is normal for football players, so we need to treat it accordingly.
