West Ham midfielder Paqueta assures Brazil fans over injury setback

West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta insists an injury knock isn't serious.

The Brazil international broke down during victory against Southampton.

The setback has sparked concern for Brazil and coach Tite ahead of next month's World Cup in Qatar.

But Paqueta said: "I suffered an injury to my right collarbone, but I'm fine, it was just a big scare.

"I'll be back in a couple of weeks."
