Brazilian magnifico Lucas Paqueta has sent a social media message to West Ham and Hammers fans will love it.
They say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone and that is certainly the case when Lucas Paqueta doesn’t play for West Ham.
Hammers talisman Paqueta suffered a recurrence of a calf injury in the FA Cup clash with Bristol City two weeks ago.
Initial reports stated Paqueta would be out for a month.
But fans were left fretting when it was claimed he could miss as many as two.
Paqueta sends message to West Ham
But Paqueta took to social media to rubbish those reports. The 26-year-old then filmed himself doing weight training in the gym and posted it online.
West Ham’s playmaker was on social media again last week, posting encouraging videos showing him doing specific leg and fitness exercises while staying with best friend and Real Madris star Vinicius Junior.
That prompted the press to ask manager David Moyes when Paqueta would be returning to action for the Hammers. But the Scot insisted he was none the wiser.
Paqueta’s absence has been sorely felt in the games he has missed since the turn of the year. No more so than the 2-2 draw with rank awful Sheffield United last time out.
Well now Paqueta has sent a social media message to West Ham and fans will love it.
Fans – and Moyes – will love it
The midfield magician has posted a picture of himself in action for West Ham alongside the words “Miss you” as well as football, heart and Hammers emojis.
And West Ham’s official account responded to their record signing with a heart and Hammers emojis.
One of Paqueta’s best friends – Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes – also replied saying: “Not long to go buddy.”
West Ham fans and Moyes will certainly be hoping that is the case.
With Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus back for West Ham’s next game, Moyes is now just waiting on Paqueta’s return before he can get reassmble the Hammers’ Holy Trinity.
