Lucas Paqueta's penalty puts West Ham level against Wolves | Premier League

Registers assist Paqueta picked up one assist from two chances created and attempted two crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 4-3 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Paqueta picked up his sixth assist of the season with a long ball to play in Michail Antonio. He has achieved attacking returns in three of his last four in all competitions (two goals and one assist). The midfielder has already bettered his total of assists from last season and is one goal short of the four he managed in his debut Premier League campaign.

Impact Paqueta played for Brazil in the games against England and Spain, and the Hammers' playmaker bagged a penalty in the draw in the latter contest. It doesn't sound as if Paqueta is dealing with an injury, but the coaching and medical staff are being extra cautious with him to avoid a potential muscular problem in the stretch run of the campaign, especially with the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals right around the corner.

Takes four shots in draw Paqueta had four shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Paqueta couldn't extend his scoring streak to three games in all competitions but it wasn't for lack of trying and the attacker was once again one of his side's biggest threats, pacing the Hammers in shots attempted. Paqueta has been playing great since the beginning of the campaign and his status at West Ham couldn't be much higher than it is right now. However, his fantasy numbers still look a little bit disappointing if we compare them to what he did at Ligue 1 while playing for Lyon.

Impact Paqueta buried his first goal in his last 10 league appearances. This marked his third consecutive start in league play since returning from a six-week absence, and he topped 25 completed passes in each outing. Paqueta also made an impact on the defensive end with three tackles and two tackles won.

Gets 76 minutes in win Paqueta had two shots, a chance created and three fouls drawn in Monday's 4-2 win against Brentford.

Impact Paqueta's return to the pitch meant a return to form for West Ham, as they looked like a different team. While Paqueta wasn't technically involved in any of the four goals, it's clear his presence boosts the confidence of teammates in addition to opening up shooting lanes not previously seen. That being the case, Paqueta is still just on two goals and five assists in 19 league starts, so while he's extremely important to the Hammers, it doesn't always show with goals and assists.

Makes starting XI Paqueta (calf) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Brentford.

Impact Paqueta is finally making his return Monday, ending a six-match streak on the sidelines due to a calf issue. The midfielder should be expected to continue in a starting role moving forward, as he is one of their best players and had started in all but two contests prior to his injury.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Monday Paqueta (calf) could return for Monday's clash with Brentford, according to manager David Moyes. "But [Lucas] Paqueta is back in training and very close to returning, so that will...

Impact Paqueta is back in training and with the late match, it seems he will be given every chance to get back on the pitch. When fit Paqueta is one of the most crucial pieces of the starting XI, and a nearly guaranteed part of the midfield. Paqueta has missed six matches in a row with the calf issue, so it's not likely he'd be rushed back into a starting role in his first match back.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Training on grass Paqueta (calf) was spotted training on grass and has made another step toward his return to action, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Paqueta has missed West Ham's last five matches, and while seeing him on the field is a step in the right direction, he's not ready to return to action yet. At a bare minimum, he should be at least two weeks away from potentially returning to competitive action.

Still 1-2 weeks from returning Paqueta (calf) remains 1-2 weeks away from getting back onto the pitch for West Ham. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "We're hoping that Paqueta is only a week or two away from...

Impact Paqueta will at least be out of action for the club's next two matches based on his timeline but appears to be ahead of schedule compared to his initial two-month diagnosis. In his last five outings, the midfielder generated four assists, six shots (zero on target) and 10 chances created. Still, Paqueta is mired in a nine-match goal drought dating back to Nov. 12 versus Nottingham Forest.

Out for next four weeks Paqueta will be out for around the next four weeks after suffering a calf injury in the club's 1-1 draw to Bristol City, Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian announced.

Impact Paqueta is set for the next month on the sidelines, having been confirmed to have a calf injury after receiving scans Tuesday. This will be a significant blow for the Hammers, as the Brazilian has only missed two matches all season and has only missed out on the starting XI once in his 24 appearances, notching five goals and six assists across those appearances. The club also recently had Jared Bowen go down with an ankle injury and also lost Mohammed Kudus for the next month due to AFCON, so Paqueta's issues couldn't have come at a worse time. Expect Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma to get more time in the starting XI until Paqueta is fully recovered, which will hopefully come against Manchester United on Feb. 4 or versus Arsenal on Feb. 11.

Set for knee scan Paqueta suffered a knee injury in the FA Cup match against Bristol City on Sunday and will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury, Kieran Gill of The Daily Mail repor...

Impact Just like it happened against Arsenal on Dec. 28, Paqueta was forced to leave the game in the first half due to injury, though he did assist the opener in the 1-1 draw against the Championship side. The swelling on his knee needs to go down before he can undergo a scan, but for now, he should be considered questionable to face Sheffield United on Jan. 21 once their Premier League campaign resumes.

Assists, leaves injured Paqueta was forced off in the first half of Sunday's FA Cup match against Bristol City with an injury.

Impact Paqueta returned from a knee injury to start the match, but lasted just 14 minutes before being replaced by Divin Mubama. Paqueta set up Jarrod Bowen for the opening goal Sunday after just four minutes, but may have reinjured the knee in the process.

Cleared from injury Paqueta (knee) is starting in the FA Cup for West Ham during Sunday's match against Bristol City.

Impact Paqueta returns from a knee injury which kept him out of the Hammers' last match against Brighton. Paqueta has been in excellent form of late with four assists in his last three Premier League appearances.

Impact Paqueta suffered the knee injury that sidelined him for a few matches but remains in training. That's the good news certainly though unless he is fully fit with no doubts then it seems unlikely he would be risked in a cup clash against Bristol City.

Doubt to face Brighton Paqueta (knee) is a doubt to face Brighton next Tuesday, manager David Moyes told media on Friday. "Obviously we lost Paqueta during the [Arsenal] game but at the moment it's too e...

Impact It seems West Ham will do everything in their power to have Paqueta fit for the game against Brighton, but at the same, they're not expected to risk him as they did against Arsenal, and a severe injury hasn't been ruled out yet. Losing Paqueta and his creativity would be a massive blow for the Hammers, and if that's the case, then Said Benrahma, who played Thursday and missed a penalty, could be in line for more minutes in an effort to provide a creative spark in the final third.

Forced off early Paqueta was forced off during the first half of Thursday's clash with Arsenal with an apparent injury.

Impact Paqueta suffered a knee injury in warmups but attempted to play through it. Instead he lasted just 33 minutes before being forced off with the injury. He will hope the injury doesn't prove to be serious with limited time to recover before a Tuesday clash with Brighton. Said Benrahma came on to replace Paqueta.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists again Paqueta registered one assist from three chances created and attempted two shots (none on target) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Manchester United.

Impact Paqueta followed up on his hat-trick of assists against Wolves with another against Manchester United, setting up Mohammed Kudus' goal with a precise through ball. He was also involved in the first goal with a brilliant ball over the top for Jarrod Bowen. He was unlucky not to officially claim the assist due to Bowen scoring at the second attempt from a rebound.

Assists three goals in home win Paqueta assisted thrice to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and six chances created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton.

Impact Paqueta had a great outing and assisted Mohammed Kudus twice before creating Jarrod Bowen's goal in the second half as well. The midfielder now has four assists in the season, to go with five goals. He also logged his season-high in chances created to lead West Ham in the match.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active display versus Burnley Paqueta had one off-target shot, created two chances, sent in one accurate cross, made four tackles (three won) and drew three fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Paqueta wasn't brilliant and didn't score as he did in the previous match but his unique blend of hustle, skill and creativity allows him to put up nice numbers across the board depending on what the Hammers need from him. In his second EPL campaign, the playmaker is still some steps behind the fantasy studs from his position but the upside is there.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in return to action Paqueta scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Paqueta made his presence felt in his first game back after a one-game ban due to yellow card accumulation, as he scored the opening goal of the match, in just the third minute of play. The goal marked his first in his last nine league appearances, and he is now up to two goals, with 13 shots and five on target, through 11 appearances on the season.
