Paquetá, who has been sidelined due to injury, has been included in Brazil’s national squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers, suggesting his recovery is on track.
The midfielder’s potential return is timely, as West Ham have been contending with a series of injuries. Striker Michail Antonio, for instance, has been out following a car accident in December that resulted in a broken leg. He has been undergoing rehabilitation in Dubai and is expected to resume training after the international break. Additionally, new signings Crysensio Summerville and Niclas Füllkrug are both sidelined with hamstring injuries, further depleting the squad’s attacking options.
Manager Graham Potter has expressed optimism regarding Paquetá’s progress but has refrained from setting a specific return date. The midfielder’s inclusion in Brazil’s squad indicates a positive trajectory in his recovery, raising hopes that he might feature in the upcoming matches against Newcastle United on March 10 and Everton on March 15.
Paquetá’s return would significantly bolster West Ham’s midfield, offering creativity and experience as the team aims to maintain momentum in the league. His presence could prove pivotal in securing favorable results in these crucial fixtures.
