RIO DE JANEIRO: West Ham midfielder Lucas Paquetá was recalled by Brazil on Friday for the primary time since an investigation started in August into suspicious betting.

Brazil performs England on March 23 and Spain three days later.
The betting allegations towards Paquetá precipitated the collapse of his offseason switch to Manchester City. He has not been charged by the English Football Association and has continued to play for West Ham.
