Lucas Paqueta will miss the second leg of West Ham’s Europa League tie with Bayer Leverkusen.
The West Ham star went into the quarter-final clash knowing that a booking in Germany would see him banned for the second leg at the London Stadium next week.
Unfortunately for the Hammers, that was exactly what happened as he went in hard on Amine Adli during the first half at the Bay Arena.
Paqueta was handed a swift booking for his challenge, with VAR even checking to see if it was deemed to be a red card offence.
But while the midfielder escaped a sending off, he now knows that he’ll miss the return leg at the London Stadium next Thursday.
