FA set to deliver Paqueta verdict

The Football Association is set to formally deliver its verdict in West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta's long-running spot-fixing case.

Paqueta has been under investigation since August 2023 and was charged by the FA in May 2024 for allegedly getting booked deliberately "for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market".

BBC Sport understands that the player and club have now been informed of the governing body's ruling in relation to those accusations, which related to matches during the 2022-23 and 23-24 Premier League seasons.

Paqueta's hearing over the charges finished towards the end of April this year.
