West Ham hope two weeks of rest will be enough for Lucas Paquetá to recover from the shoulder injury that has threatened the Brazil international’s chances of going to the World Cup.

Paquetá was injured during the closing stages of West Ham’s 1-1 draw with Southampton last Sunday and missed Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat at Liverpool. David Moyes has expressed concern over the midfielder and there have been suggestions the problem could keep him out of the World Cup, which begins on 20 November.
