West Ham's captain, Jarrod Bowen, is set to miss several weeks after suffering a fractured foot during the club's heavy 5-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday. The injury occurred in the first half, and Bowen, despite the pain, attempted to continue playing but was forced off in the second half. A statement from the club confirmed that Bowen's injury would keep him sidelined as West Ham enters the New Year.
Bowen, a key player for West Ham this season, has contributed six goals in all competitions, making his absence a significant blow to the team.
The 28-year-old England forward shared the news of his injury on social media, expressing his frustration but also his determination to recover. He revealed that he would focus on returning to the pitch as soon as possible after taking the time needed to heal.
While Bowen faces several weeks on the sidelines, West Ham also continues to support Michail Antonio, who was recently discharged from the hospital following a serious car crash earlier this month. The Jamaica international, who had been a regular in West Ham's lineup, required surgery for a lower limb injury after being extricated from his Ferrari.
Antonio's recovery is expected to take time, with the 34-year-old facing a lengthy rehabilitation. West Ham expressed their gratitude to the emergency services and medical staff for their swift response and care after the crash.
Antonio, despite his condition, has been in contact with teammates and has received visits from his squad and manager.
