West Ham's Brazilian player Lucas Paqueta has been cleared by Brazil's football federation to participate in the Copa America, despite facing serious spot-fixing charges from the English Football Association. The CBF decided not to withdraw Paqueta from the squad after discussions with the FA, with no decision expected before the Copa America final in July. Paqueta denies all charges and has until Monday to respond, potentially facing a ban that could impact his career. West Ham has pledged to support him, and the FA may push for a worldwide ban if he is found guilty.
