David Moyes has provided an update on the Jarrod Bowen finger injury after yesterday’s win at home to Wolves at the London Stadium.
The Hammers won the game 2-0 in the end, despite not actually playing that well, at least in the first-half anyway.

Gianluca Scamacca scored an absolute worldie midway through the first period to put us 1-0 up and Bowen made it 2-0 with around 35 minutes remaining.
It was good to see Bowen get on the score-sheet after a really poor start to his 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
So perhaps it was just a matter of time before he came good this season.
Fair play to David Moyes for keeping his faith in Jarrod. We’ve called for him to be dropped for quite some time now, so hats off to Moyes for getting it right.
The Scot was under real pressure to get a result against Wolves last night and made some bold selection calls that would have opened him up to criticism, had we failed to get the job done.
Hopefully Bowen will now find a good run of form…but will he be allowed to do that after his finger injury last night?
Jarrod Bowen finger update provided by Moyes
The hard-working right winger looked to have dislocated his finger midway through the second-half.
He was strapped up by the physios and carried on. And after the match, Moyes told reporters that the injury was a pretty nasty one, as quoted by Football.London:
He’s just told me and actually, the physio just came over and said he’s done something to his finger and said it was pretty bad.
The injury looked really bad, and it sounds bad as well.
The good thing with the finger injury sustained by Jarrod Bowen is that it can just be strapped together with the adjacent one.
West Ham really need the 25-year-old to find his very best form between now and the break for the World Cup out in Qatar.
The Hammers are so much more of a potent attacking threat when Bowen is on his game. And yesterday’s performance and result should give him great confidence.
Let’s hope that the Jarrod Bowen finger injury doesn’t end up being too problematic for him down the road.
