“Mikel had a little surgery on his meniscus,” Jose Mourinho told reporters at a press conference.
“We are expecting him to be out for about a month - one week is already gone. There is not too much optimism or pessimism.
“I would say (he will be back) first week of April.”
The 27 - year - old will be unavailable for selection in Premier League games against West Ham, Southampton and Hull City plus the Champions League clash at home to Paris Saint Germain.
