Quiet in group stage starts Paqueta has created two chances across his two appearances (120 minutes combined) at the World Cup so far.

Impact Paqueta has been forced to play a slightly more defensive role than he is used to simply due to Brazil's litany of attacking options. It will be interesting to see whether this changes for the knockout rounds and if he's able to play a little further forward, especially if Neymar (ankle) still isn't 100 percent fit.

Impact Paqueta is unlikely to feature in the starting XI on Sunday based on the manager's comments but his inclusion in the squad could see him make an appearance off the bench which would be his first minutes since OCt. 16 versus Southampton. Barring any setbacks, the midfielder should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI once back up to full speed, though that may not occur until after the World Cup break.

Impact Paqueta could be back as soon as Sunday's trip to Manchester if he can get back in full training by then. It's a positive update, something David Moyes was never going to give. Flynn Downes has played well in Paqueta's absence, but the latter should be back before the World Cup break.

No timescale to return Paqueta has "no timescale to return" because of a shoulder injury, manager David Moyes revealed after Wednesday's match against Liverpool.

Impact It's not good news on Paqueta, who is unlikely for Monday's match against Bournemouth.
