Managing his squad has become a challenge for the Scotsman with the Hammers currently in 14th place in the Premier League. And there is only three points in the relegation zone for West Ham. With four of West Ham’s next six league games taking place against “big six” sides. Managing the squad will continue to be a conundrum in the final two months of this season.
Moyes Gives An Update On Paqueta
Lucas Paqueta, a midfielder, is anticipated to be ready after missing Saturday’s 1-0 victory against Fulham. Due to a foot injury received in the 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United one week prior.
Moyes have the opinion that Paqueta will be qualified for selection following this week’s training sessions on Wednesday. Yesterday evening, the David Moyes spoke to the media about their prospects of making it to the competition’s semi-finals.
And Moyes said when asked if Lucas Paqueta will be available to play the Belgians, as reported by Football.London, “Yeah. He got quite a bad knock against Newcastle and he trained a bit on Friday and we thought he would be okay but his ankle was just too puffy. He has now trained a couple of days and he is back.”
This is obviously a fantastic news for the Hammers. Before injuring his ankle against Newcastle last week, the 25-year-old Brazilian was just getting into form.
Having Paqueta available in Genk will be critical for West Ham and their prospects of returning a positive result to East London. The former Lyon man possesses tremendous skill, and despite the fact that he has yet to demonstrate what he is actually capable of this season. So he remains as an important player for Moyes.
