West Ham's Lucas Paqueta could MISS the Qatar World Cup with Brazil after suffering a 'serious' injury as club boss David Moyes admits he is unsure of the midfielder's return date

West Ham and Brazil star Lucas Paqueta remains a doubt for the upcoming Qatar World Cup after club boss David Moyes revealed the attacking midfielder was suffering with a 'serious' injury.

Paqueta was absent from West Ham's trip to Anfield on Wednesday evening and could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after damaging his shoulder in a recent 1-1 draw with Southampton.

The Brazilian joined the Hammers for £51million in the summer transfer window and has been one of Moyes' bright sparks with the West Ham manager praising the 'dynamic' Paqueta brought to his team.
