West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen is reportedly a ‘major doubt’ for an England call-up due to a heel injury.
Initially, it had been hoped that the 25-year-old would be available for the Three Lions after scans revealed no serious issues for the forward.
However, it is now feared that Bowen will miss out on selection for the squad to face Switzerland and Ivory Coast.
That’s according to a report from the Evening Standard, as cited by Jack Rosser on Twitter.

The report claims that the Hereford-born winger’s ‘hopes of a first England call-up are in doubt’ having been in superb form this season.
Prior to this setback, Bowen had scored 12 times and provided 11 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions for the Hammers.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
A huge blow.
Few players were are more deserving of an England opportunity than Bowen this term.
Uncapped at any level for the national team, the £31.5million valued man would’ve been hoping for a chance to shine ahead of the World Cup later in the year.
Hopefully, for West Ham and England reasons the dynamic ace can make a prompt return to fitness.
