Paqueta (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "I think it's a situation all of us at the Club have to solve. We always want our best players to be involved, and Lucas is one of our best players, so let's try to solve the situation. My job is to get the best out of all the players."

Paqueta is still not an option for the club as he deals with his undisclosed injury, marking a third straight game out for the midfielder. This remains a brutal loss for the club, as he is a typical starter, not missing a start all season when an option. There still remains some uncertainty around the midfielder's return, leaving his addition to the squad up in the air.
