West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been reprimanded and warned as to his future conduct over his failure to co-operate with a Football Association investigation into spot-fixing allegations.

Paqueta was cleared of four spot-fixing charges by an independent commission in July, but the commission did find he had failed to comply with a requirement to answer questions and provide information to the FA’s investigation.

The FA later confirmed it would not appeal against the commission’s decision to clear the Brazilian of the four spot-fixing charges.
