West Ham boss Moyes hoping Bowen can make Sevilla clash

West Ham United manager David Moyes is hopeful Jarrod Bowen will be fit for the Europa League last-16 clash with Sevilla.

The English striker, who has been immense for West Ham this season, is currently sidelined with a heel injury.

Asked if Bowen could be back for the second leg in London, Moyes said: "We hope Jarrod can make it for the second leg, we do not see it as a [long] injury, he has had three or four scans and there is nothing severe but we are hoping to find the cause and to get him back as he is important."

Moyes also admitted that his style of play would change without Bowen in the side.

He added: "It does a little bit, it will limit us as Jarrod has an X factor, which you need upfront.

"He has been in good form the last two to three months it will not change us a great deal but we are missing an important player just like Sevilla too."
