Soon back in Lyon with the Sage Ball ?
Lucas Paquetá’s case could get even worse. As a reminder, the midfielder is accused of having voluntarily taken yellow cards in order to distort several sports bets, for matches taking place between 2022 and 2023. But according to the Sun, the English federation (FA) calls for a life banas two new offenses surfaced.
The Brazilian allegedly threw the phone where the evidence is located
According to the tabloid, investigators seized his phone in order to examine the history and bank statements. In the meantime, the accused allegedly obtained a replacement cell phone during the investigation. Nothing alarming so far. Except that when the authorities returned the said cell phone to him, the Brazilian then allegedly threw it away. Which cancels any possibility of carrying out additional searches.
Given the sporting difficulties experienced by the London club, the midfielder is not likely to be removed from the field before the end of the season. The trial takes place in March 2025, and the sentence will not fall until the summer. At this time, the player’s clan still denies all charges against him.
It gives him time to save the poor start to the season from Hammers.
