Chelsea vs. West Ham (Saturday, 17:30 GMT)
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said on Chelsea Team News on Saturday:: “There is always something to evaluate, there are always knocks. There are situations that have to be evaluated. That is normal.”
He also added about Lucas Paqueta and a possible move to Flamengo.: “The club is allowing him to travel for a medical as it is not official yet, but I think we will find a solution that everyone is aware of and has come to a good conclusion.
“Lucas has made it clear that he wants to go home and we are looking forward to the medical check and official announcement of the situation. Let’s wait and see.
“For me, Lucas is a special player and a special person. As I’ve said many times, he’s number 10. I don’t think that was the right way to go from the club’s point of view.”
“I think everything could be different, but the situation is as it is. He wanted to go to Brazil and there was an offer. We are expecting a medical check and are moving on knowing that he is a special person and player. We wish him the best.”
