West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen facing spell on sidelines with fractured left foot

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen faces a spell out of action after suffering a fractured foot during the defeat by Liverpool.

England forward Bowen was substituted during the second half of Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing at the London Stadium.

“West Ham United can confirm Jarrod Bowen sustained a fractured foot injury in Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool,” a club statement read.

“The injury to his left foot, picked up in the first half at London Stadium, will sideline the Hammers captain heading into the New Year.”

Bowen has been a key player for the Irons again this season, scoring six goals in all competitions.

The 28-year-old revealed he had sustained the injury during the first half, but tried to play on.

“Unfortunately in the first half of our game on Sunday I suffered a fracture to a bone in my foot,” Bowen wrote on Instagram.

“As always I tried to fight on and continue playing until I physically couldn’t.

“Injuries happen in football, but I’m already looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible. See you all soon.”
