Lucas Paqueta Injury: Set for further assessment

Paqueta (back) is set for further assessment ahead of Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "We have to assess both of them, JC and Lucas. They are trying hard to be involved after painful situations. We still have tomorrow (Tuesday) to see how they are and see if they can be involved in the squad."

Paqueta was out over the weekend with some back issues and looks to be set for some testing ahead of their next contest, with that a potential decider to see if he can play. He is their lead midfielder when fit, so this is something to monitor for the club. If fit, he should earn a starting spot, with four goals and one assist in 17 appearances this campaign.
