West Ham United’s Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta will be available for the Premier League return against Arsenal, according to reports.
The midfield duo are set to return to Rush Green after both suffered the pain of a World Cup quarter-final defeat in Qatar. Paqueta featured in Brazil’s penalty shootout loss against Croatia on Friday, whereas Rice played all 90 minutes in England’s 2-1 defeat against France a day later.
According to the Evening Standard, both will now be given ten days off before returning to training with West Ham next week. The Hammers are hoping both will be ready for selection against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day.
