West Ham latest news: Huge injury boost ahead of Europa clash

West Ham’s hopes are rising regarding Jarrod Bowen‘s availability for the crucial match against Leverkusen this Thursday at the Bay Arena. A reliable insider at West Ham disclosed to Claret & Hugh yesterday that the winger is scheduled for a scan.

The Irons’ leading scorer suffered an injury during West Ham’s hard-fought 2-1 Premier League victory over Wolves, visibly in discomfort before being substituted.

Nevertheless, the optimism within West Ham’s staff is growing, despite initial concerns of ‘bruising’. Speaking to Sean Whetstone of C&H last night, a prominent figure within the club stated, “He’s [Bowen] still experiencing some soreness today. We won’t have a definitive answer until Wednesday or Thursday regarding his fitness.”

Manager David Moyes echoed this sentiment with cautious optimism, stating, “We have to remain hopeful he’s okay. It’s more of a knock than a twist. He mentioned a knee into his hip or back. It’s causing significant stiffness. I’ve had similar experiences, and they tend to linger. Let’s hope it’s not too serious.”

With such encouraging news emerging, West Ham is banking on their top scorer’s potential return for this crucial UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash. Bowen’s presence will be vital for such a huge game.
