West Ham fans eagerly await the resolution of the case involving Lucas Paquetá’s alleged intentional yellow card bookings. However, it seems this won’t be happening anytime soon.
Details: According to the Daily Mail, the Football Association has not met the three-week deadline due to the vast amount of evidence collected in this case. The authorities have requested an additional week to review it, but the case is currently on hold.
It remains unclear why the investigation has been paused, and the timeline for its resumption is also unknown. It is also uncertain whether Paquetá will be found guilty or innocent. At West Ham, they are equally in the dark about when they will hear the verdict, even once the hearings conclude.
Reminder: The midfielder faces a potential lifetime ban from football if it is proven that he intentionally received yellow cards in four Premier League matches. However, during the investigation, Paquetá will not be suspended.
