Lucas Paqueta could miss the rest of West Ham's season with his club worried about their star midfielder's state of mind amid the toll of his prolonged betting case.

Paqueta broke down in tears after being shown a yellow card during his side's 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Sunday - and his wife says their family have been 'living a nightmare for two years'.

Mail Sport reported last month that Paqueta's FA spot-fixing hearing was not concluded during the three-week timeframe originally hoped - and he has now been forced to wait several weeks for the case to start up again.
