LUCAS PAQUETA NEWS

Could return Sunday Paqueta (collarbone) will be in contention against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Lucas Paqueta has been training so he's probably ready to be inclu...

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.

Pictured in training Paqueta (collarbone) was pictured in training ahead of Thursday's UECL match.

Impact Paqueta seems to be available again and should be in the squad Sunday against Crystal Palace. There's a chance he gets minutes Thursday, which would be a bit more helpful in projecting him to start in Premier League. Youngster Flynn Downes has been starting in his spot the last couple matches, which included trips to Liverpool and Manchester United.

Impact Paqueta will miss his third straight contest after suffering a collarbone injury. Moyes' comments do seem to indicate the attacking midfielder could be ready to face Crystal Palace on Nov. 6, though he hasn't been officially confirmed. Flynn Downes figures to continue featuring in the starting XI with Paqueta sidelined.

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. Youngster Flynn Downes started in his place Wednesday, but it's more likely someone like Said Benrahma will return to the XI if needed. Prior to injury, Paqueta had started five-straight matches as an attacking midfielder.

Out against Liverpool Paqueta is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Liverpool because of a shoulder injury.

Impact Paqueta couldn't recover on the short week and it's his first league absence in more than a month, as he started five-straight contests. Youngster Flynn Downes is getting a rare start in a massive spot against Liverpool.

Eight shots in draw Paqueta took eight shots (two on target), sent in four crosses (zero accurate) and made one interception during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Impact Paqueta attempted quite a few rips from outside the box in this contest, but he was unable to find the mark with much regularity. Manuel Lanzini relieved him with three minutes left before stoppage time. On the league season, he's averaging about three shots per game across six appearances (five starts).

Logs assist in win Paqueta logged one assist from two chances created and took four shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Fulham.

Impact Paqueta was able to secure his first EPL assist in Sunday's victory after failing to even create a chance over his first four appearances for the Hammers (three starts). An exceptionally talented player who now looks settled into the lineup, Paqueta is certainly one to track should his production continue to increase.

Makes two interceptions in win Paqueta registered one off-target shot, two tackles (one won), two interceptions and two clearances in Saturday's 2-0 loss at West Ham.

Impact Paqueta was most active on defense during their home win, leading his side in interceptions. He was again subbed off in the second half, and has yet to play the full 90 minutes after four appearances (three starts). The midfielder still has no goals or assists as well since transferring from Lyon.
