The Paq man is nearly back man as Hammers talisman Lucas Paqueta re-posts his deleted West Ham comeback message.
West Ham are not the same side without their Brazilian magnifico Lucas Paqueta.
That has been made abundantly clear over the last month with Paqueta sidelined by a worrying calf injury.
So there was great news yesterday when Paqueta teased a West Ham return ahead of Arsenal with a post on social media.
Eagle-eyed Hammers News managed to get a screenshot of the post before it was mysteriously deleted.
Paqueta re-posts deleted comeback message
Taking to X, Paqueta posted a picture of himself in full Hammers training gear as he worked out in the Rush Green gym on Monday.
Alongside emojis of a timer, football, heart, Hammers and praying hands, Paqueta said: “Looking forward to getting back to doing what I love! Not long.”
It came after David Moyes revealed on Sunday he could be welcoming Paqueta back ‘in the next week or two’.
When the post was quickly removed from the platform, though, it looked like it might be a false dawn for the Hammers.
Some extreme pessimists even suggested Paqueta may have suffered some sort of setback in the moments immediately after posting.
But the Paq man really is nearly back man.
Paq man nearly back man
Paqueta is nearing a return as the talisman re-posts his deleted West Ham comeback message.
The Hammers playmaker has this afternoon posted out the same message he deleted, which you can see below.
Now let’s keep everything crossed we see him back involved when Arsenal come to the London Stadium on Sunday.
When Paqueta is back, it will restore much-needed balance to this misfiring West Ham side for the second half of the season.
The Hammers sorely lack creativity and guile.
Moyes should not be so reliant on one player. But that is something he can only address now when the summer transfer window rolls around.
