Lucas Paqueta - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Down year Paqueta scored four times in 33 appearances (27 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Paqueta netted four goals, a massive downturn after producing 10 goal contributions last time out. The attacking midfielder was disappointing throughout the season and failed to really get anything done. It was an awful campaign also marred by off-the-pitch issues. Paqueta's future is uncertain but if he remains at West Ham he should be a consistent starter with some upside.

Two accurate crosses Saturday Paqueta generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Southampton.

Impact Paqueta has had a quiet April, considering his best performance of the season saw him create four chances, two of them accurate crosses. He has struggled since January, failing to log a goal or an assist despite continued opportunities. Ideally for Paqueta, before or during May, Paqueta can get back in form to help West Ham escape the area just above the Premier League's relegation zone.

Two chances created in defeat Paqueta registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton.

Impact Paqueta played a full 90 minutes for the first time in three outings and made his presence felt by creating at least two chances for the ninth time in 26 appearances on the season. This also marked his second straight game with a shot, but he has not had one on target in his last six appearances.

Returns to bench Paqueta (ankle) is on the bench for Monday's clash with Newcastle.

Impact Paqueta is back on the bench for Monday's clash, as expected. The midfielder returned to training before the weekend and didn't suffer any sort of new issues. Paqueta should compete for major minutes once he's back up to full match fitness.

Impact Paqueta is progressing but still appears to be a bit away from his return, as he will not be an option Thursday and was deemed to need more time until fit.

He is a critical part of the team and is a regular starter when fit, so they will hope he is available soon.

Impact Paqueta met an unfortunate fate Thursday, as he collided with one of his own teammates at training and rolled his ankle, leaving him out for Saturday. This is a tough break for the midfielder, as he is set to miss at least the club's next two matches.

Trains, available Saturday Paqueta (groin) is an option for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Paqueta appears to have cleared his injury after missing last week's FA Cup match, with the attacker set to be an option Saturday. This comes after training this week, looking to be in a good spot to see some minutes. That said, he will hope to see the start, starting in 20 of his 23 appearances this season.

Impact Paqueta is doing well in his recovery from the minor groin injury, but isn't quite there yet. The attacking midfielder could shift into a more natural role if fully fit, with Jarrod Bowen to likely take over leading the line.

Spot kick strike in draw Paqueta scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Paqueta scored from the penalty spot Monday, he also fired two other attempts that were blocked.

This was the second goal over seven league appearances for the playmaker, who's been struggling to fill the stat sheet as many feel he can.
