West Ham suffer major injury blow
West Ham are sweating on the fitness of Jarrod Bowen after he picked up an injury during their win over Wolves at the weekend. Bowen was substituted in the 54th minute with his side trailing 1-0 to Wolves.
Although the Hammers were able to complete a turnaround and keep all three points amid some very late VAR drama, Bowen’s withdrawal will be a huge concern for David Moyes ahead of the Premier League season run-in and their Europa League commitments.
Speaking about Bowen’s injury, Moyes said: “We have to hope he’s okay. You need all your top players at this stage of the season and Jarrod is one who’s been doing great for us. It looks like he’s had a knee into his hip, or his back. It’s not a twist or anything like that. He’s really stiff and I’ve had one or two of those myself and they don’t go away too quick.

Newcastle United sit one point and one place below the Hammers in the Premier League table but do have a game in hand on Moyes’ side. Chelsea, who were pegged back late by Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, remain three points behind the Magpies, but they also have a game in hand on Newcastle and two on West Ham.
