# Pundit says West Ham will be delighted by ‘massive’ Jarrod Bowen injury news

Former Premier League striker Noel Whelan believes [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/03/08/otd-west-ham-beat-southampton-2-0-in-epl-encounter/) will be delighted by the ‘massive’ injury news on [Jarrod Bowen](https://readwestham.com/2022/03/08/virals-west-ham-hopeful-key-duo-will-be-available-for-uel-clash/).

The 25-year-old [limped off](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/news/jarrod-bowen-injury-west-ham-23305676) in the defeat against Liverpool with what appeared to be a serious heel issue.

However, it was [confirmed](https://www.whufc.com/news/jarrod-bowen-injury-update) by the club that ‘no significant damage’ had been suffered and the Englishman, therefore, is unlikely to be sidelined for a prolonged period.

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-news-pundit-issues-massive-jarrod-bowen-claim/), Whelan suggested that the Hammers and England will be over the moon with the outcome.

> It’s massive for them. He’s been brilliant – this season especially. The improvement he’s shown is just a testament to the hard work he’s been putting in. It’s not just West Ham who will be relieved, it’s Gareth Southgate too – because he is surely on the verge of an England call-up.

So far this season Bowen has [scored 12 times and provided 11 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdaten/spieler/314875) in 39 appearances across all competitions.

Despite the positive prognosis, it [remains unlikely](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/jarrod-bowen-injury-west-ham-sevilla-b986427.html) that David Moyes will have the winger available for the meeting with Sevilla in Spain.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Given how much pain Bowen appeared to be in at Anfield, any prompt return would be welcomed by West Ham supporters.

Hopefully, the [£31.5million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/marktwertverlauf/spieler/314875) ace can make a comeback for the second-leg at the latest and perhaps stay in contention for the upcoming England meeting with Switzerland.

In-line for a [first international call up](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/profil/spieler/314875) due to a stellar season, it would be a cruel blow should injury see the former Hull City man miss out.
