West Ham concern over Paqueta injury

West Ham United star Lucas Paqueta was forced off injured against Arsenal in the Premier League.

The Hammers earned a valuable 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium against the Gunners.

However, manager David Moyes may have a selection headache if Paqueta is unavailable for several games.

He came off with a hamstring issue that resulted in him having his leg strapped on the sidelines.

Paqueta is one who was expected to play more in the coming weeks, given West Ham are losing Mohammed Kudus to the African Cup of Nations.

Moyes may have to turn to the likes of Tomas Soucek to ensure that his team remain afloat while Paqueta is out and Kudus is absent.
