Of course, Paul has been very important for us and we’re not going to take any risks. [So it is] a few weeks definitely.

The World Cup winner will be absent for the upcoming fixtures, including Tuesday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to West Ham and possibly at least one leg of the Europa League last-32 tie against Real Sociedad, which takes place on February 18 and 25.
