EXCLUSIVEWest Ham dealt injury blow as Jarrod Bowen is RULED OUT of their Europa League first-leg against Xabi Alonso's high-flying Bayer Leverkusen

West Ham have been dealt a huge injury blow with Jarrod Bowen set to miss the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Bayer Leverkusen.

Bowen, who has 19 goals and eight assists in all competitions this season, limped off in the 54th minute of the Hammers’ 2-1 win at Wolves on Saturday.

While the forward’s injury is not thought to be serious, Mail Sport understands he will not be fit to face Xabi Alonso’s side on Thursday.

It’s a huge blow for boss David Moyes, who had hoped his top scorer would recover in time for the trip to Germany.
