West Ham star Jarrod Bowen sustained nasty injury this week but there’s no doubts over involvement at Brentford says source

West Ham star Jarrod Bowen sustained a nasty injury this week but there’s no doubts over his involvement at Brentford says a club source.

They say you can’t keep a good man down and West Ham star Jarrod Bowen is certainly that.

West Ham’s top scorer was up to his usual tricks against Arsenal in midweek scoring a thumping goal in the memorable 3-1 win.

Attentions now turn to the Premier League for the Hammers and a trip across London to face Brentford.

West Ham don’t have the greatest of records against Thomas Frank’s obdurate side.

So they could have done without being denied the services of Edson Alvarez and Lucas Paqueta for the game.

Both are suspended while there are also doubts over whether Kurt Zouma will be available after David Moyes revealed he has picked up an injury.

Fans will have noticed Bowen’s eye was gushing with blood after a swipe to the face in the win over the Gunners.

Bowen played on after some lengthy treatment and butterfly stitches on the sideline.

The attacker was actually very fortunate he was not caught directly in the eye. Instead he has been left with a wound more commonly seen in boxing or rugby.

Bowen spoke to fans via the club’s social media after the Arsenal win and seemed to be suffering no ill-effects as he looked forward to the Brentford game.

Hammers News has spoken to a key source at the club about the knock after pictures showed Bowen’s eye area looking swollen and bruised after the game.

And while it’s certainly sore, the good news is that it will not keep him out of the Brentford game.

You can’t keep a good man down with Bowen set to extend astonishing appearance stats

We have been reassured that it would take a lot more than that to keep Bowen out of the game.

Although any impact in the same area will likely open up the wound further.

Earlier this season we reported on Bowen’s astonishing durability and appearance record.

In fact Bowen has now missed just two of West Ham’s 135 Premier League games since he signed for the club in January 2020.

And from what we’re told he will add to that on Saturday.
