Jarrod Bowen injury update
Ahead of facing Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham have been dealt a major blow on the injury front.
This comes with Jarrod Bowen being ruled out of Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final clash.
Bowen was injured in a collision with Wolves’s Mario Lemina during the Hammers’ 2-1 victory at Molineux over the weekend and was forced off early in the second half, with assessments since revealing he will not be fit in time for this week’s first-leg meeting with the Bundesliga leaders.
While Bowen is not expected to be out for too long, his absence from Thursday’s game is a major blow for the east Londoners.
The winger is enjoying a superb 2023/24 season for the Hammers, with 19 goals in all competitions making him their top scorer this term.
