The injury expert now releases an important update on the Bowen knee for West Ham fansIt seems like a sigh of relief.
West Ham United fans have been eagerly awaiting an injury update on Jarrod Bowen’s status and have now got their wish from an injury specialist.
The situation of the West Ham striker…At first glance, West Ham United have some pretty eye-catching options to choose from at the London Stadium, with Michail Antonio, Danny Ings and Divin Mubama obviously playing as central strikers.
Mohammed Kudus and Bowen can both play at number nine and have both featured in central positions at times this season.
However, injury problems in recent weeks have started to affect David Moyes’ ability to put together a solid attacking team, leaving the Scot with no choice but to make changes to his squad.
Jamaican international Antonio returned injured from the recent international break; However, he avoided serious concerns as scans revealed he had simply suffered a medial ligament strain, which would keep him out for around a month, according to the Evening Standard.
Three Lions winger Bowen also had an issue on international duty, something Moyes addressed in his post-match press conference after the Irons’ 2-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor when he said: “Jarrod is, I hope, not bad. But he just wasn’t ready to play and we couldn’t get him ready for the game.
West Ham United supporters are unwilling to reveal the extent of Bowen’s injury and will hope their star will not be out for too long as they begin a run of festive matches.
An update on his situation has been released by a physiotherapy and sports science expert, explaining the permutations and possible length of Bowen’s absence.
Verdict on Jarrod Bowen’s injury…Speaking to West Ham Zone, injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar allayed fears that Bowen could be sidelined for a long period and expects him to be back in the race sooner than other reports suggest.

“However, that is definitely not the case. It is difficult to give concrete information on what could be the cause as neither the national team nor the club have released much information.
But he should be fine for the next few games.Bowen was once again in fine form for the Irons this season, scoring nine goals and three assists in 16 appearances in all competitions (Bowen stats Transfermarkt).
Bowen, who carries the torch for West Ham United’s attack, has also taken 45 shots during the 2023/24 season, nine of which resulted directly in goals (Bowen Stats – FBRef).
In what will be a busy period of matches, Moyes will be keen to get Bowen back into action at the London Stadium as quickly as possible, as he poses a constant threat regardless of the opposition.
