West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has requested more time to respond to a Football Association (FA) charge for alleged betting breaches. The charge stems from a controversial yellow card he received during West Ham's draw with Bournemouth. Paqueta reportedly asked not to play in the game where he received the yellow card, which has led to the FA's spot-fixing investigation. His lawyers, as reported by RoshaneSport and MarioCortegana, are handling the request for more time.
