West Ham's Bowen sidelined with foot fracture
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen is set to be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a fractured foot during last weekend's defeat by Liverpool.
England forward Bowen limped off with the injury in the second half of Sunday's 5-0 thrashing by the Premier League leaders at the London Stadium.
"West Ham United can confirm Jarrod Bowen sustained a fractured foot injury in Sunday's Premier League fixture against Liverpool," a West Ham statement said on Tuesday.
"The injury to his left foot, picked up in the first half at London Stadium, will sideline the Hammers captain heading into the New Year."
Bowen has been one of West Ham's more reliable players during their difficult first season under boss Julen Lopetegui.
The 28-year-old, who has scored six goals in all competitions this term, revealed he had sustained the fracture during the first half, but tried to play on after the interval.
"Unfortunately in the first half of our game on Sunday I suffered a fracture to a bone in my foot," Bowen wrote on Instagram.
"As always I tried to fight on and continue playing until I physically couldn't.
"Injuries happen in football, but I'm already looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible. See you all soon."
