The English Federation has launched a disciplinary investigation for the Brazilian fantasist, Lucas Paqueta. It is suspected that the player was deliberately punished with a yellow card in order to profit from betting, something that is prohibited.
Therefore, Paqueta has started an investigation, for the whole season and very soon, the English Federation will come out with a final answer.
The player, in a reaction, has denied all the accusations against him.
"I am extremely surprised and upset that the English FA has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against me. For nine months I have cooperated every step of the way with their investigation and made all information available to them. I deny all accusations and will fight to clear my name," said Paqueta.
