RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil's West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta will remain with their Copa America squad despite the English FA having charged him over alleged breaches of betting rules, the Brazilian FA (CBF) said on Thursday.

The CBF said it had discussions with the English FA before deciding to keep Paqueta in Dorival Junior's squad preparing for friendlies against Mexico and the United States next month ahead of the June 20-July 14 continental tournament.
