West Ham boss Moyes says Bowen close to return

West Ham boss David Moyes says Jarrod Bowen could make Sunday's clash with Everton.

Bowen has stepped up his recovery from an ankle injury in a huge boost to West Ham prior to next week's Europa League quarter-final against Lyon.

But could he be fit for the weekend?

"I expect him to be on the pitch in the coming weeks," said Hammers boss David Moyes.

"I don't know if I expect him this week. There's a chance that both [Bowen and Vladimir Coufal] of them could make it.

"They both did a bit of training over the international break. I'm not quite sure both of them are match-fit and ready, that's my only concern.

"We have to concentrate on this game first. We've got a busy schedule so we've got to be aware of that and make sure we don't overcook any of the players, but at the same time we need to win the next game."
