West Ham reportedly fears that forward Jarrod Bowen will miss the Europa League clash with Sevilla on Thursday (March 10).
The 25-year-old limped off during the defeat to Liverpool at Anfield and appeared to be in agony with an ankle issue.
An initial prognosis from the club suggested that the English winger had avoided sustaining any serious damage.
We can confirm a scan has shown that Jarrod Bowen suffered no significant damage following the injury he picked up at Liverpool on Saturday evening.

However, a report from The Evening Standard has suggested that Bowen is still suffering from significant swelling as the Irons prepare for European action.
The report claims that the club ‘fear they will be without’ the right-winger for the trip to Spain.
So far this season Bowen has been on scintillating form, scoring 12 times and registering 11 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.

A huge blow, undoubtedly.
Whilst Moyes will be confident of a positive performance with or without the talismanic Englishman, the goal threat is certainly greatly diminished by the £31.5million valued ace’s potential absence.
In terms of potential replacements, Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma, Manuel Lanzini and Nikola Vlasic will all be vying for a spot in the attacking midfield line.
