# Virals: Fresh report casts doubt over Jarrod Bowen’s UEL availability

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/03/07/virals-west-ham-keeping-a-close-eye-on-marcus-rashford-situation/) reportedly fears that forward [Jarrod Bowen](https://readwestham.com/2022/03/02/virals-west-ham-set-75million-asking-price-for-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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60531478) at Anfield and appeared to be in agony with an ankle issue.

An initial [prognosis from the club](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1500515161001664520) suggested that the English winger had avoided sustaining any serious damage.

However, a report from [The Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/jarrod-bowen-injury-west-ham-sevilla-b986427.html) 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](https://www.skysports.com/west-ham-united-fixtures) to Spain.

So far this season Bowen has been on scintillating form, scoring [12 times and registering 11 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdaten/spieler/314875) in 39 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/marktwertverlauf/spieler/314875) ace’s potential absence.

In terms of [potential replacements](https://www.whufc.com/players/713), Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma, Manuel Lanzini and Nikola Vlasic will all be vying for a spot in the attacking midfield line.
