West Ham United star Lucas Paqueta is expected to win his two-year fight to save his career after the Football Association accused him of picking up yellow cards on purpose in order to influence betting outcomes.
Paqueta was facing a potential life ban if found guilty, but the relieved Brazilian is set to receive the news from the independent panel who tried his case that they do not believe he was involved in a spot-fixing conspiracy.
Mail Sport broke the story of the FA’s probe back in August 2023.
At that time, the investigation scuppered his proposed £80million move from West Ham to Manchester City.
