West Ham is buzzing with optimism, as Lucas Paquetá has made his way back to the thick of first-team practices, setting sights on the upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest this weekend. The air is filled with anticipation, yet a veil of uncertainty lingers; the final word on Paqueta’s participation at the City Ground hangs in balance. David Moyes, the man steering the ship, is poised to make a vital decision post-Friday’s practice session.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his immediate return, the scheduling gods have been kind, allotting a nine-day rest before West Ham’s next engagement at Brentford. This break suggests Paquetá could make a well-timed comeback, whose presence on the field has been sorely missed since an early exit during a tussle with Bristol City in the FA Cup third round, a comeback cut short by the ghosts of a past calf injury reawakened.
Paquetá’s history with injuries
Paquetá’s journey with West Ham is a mix of tough challenges and strong comebacks. His first attempt to return was quickly stopped by another injury, showing even the strongest can face setbacks. The team is careful, remembering past issues, but they really need Paquetá’s energy to help them through hard times.
Moyes is looking for ways to improve the team’s performance, knowing every choice is crucial. Without Paquetá, West Ham has struggled, not winning in seven games and scoring only four goals, showing how much they miss him.
