West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá is set to feature in the Hammers’ clash against Wolves at Molineux on Tuesday night.
However, the match coincides with the conclusion of his FA hearing regarding alleged betting breaches. Despite expectations for a resolution, the Football Association is now likely to take additional time to deliberate before reaching a verdict.
A top source informed *Claret & Hugh* that the process “could continue for a third week.” With little information leaking from the hearing and no clear signals from the three-man panel, the delay is neither a positive nor negative sign—only an indication that proceedings are ongoing. The hearing was initially expected to wrap up within two weeks, but this latest development suggests new evidence or other factors may have emerged.
For now, Paquetá remains eligible to play, with a final decision unlikely before the end of next week. The Hammers’ record signing is not required to attend every session in person and is expected to travel with the squad to the Midlands ahead of Tuesday’s match.
