In a blow to West Ham United's campaign, captain Jarrod Bowen fractured his left foot in a Premier League clash with Liverpool. The 28-year-old forward, known for his impressive five league goals and four assists this season, had to leave the field during their significant 5-0 defeat at home.

Adding to the club's recent challenges, striker Michail Antonio has just been discharged from the hospital after recovering from a serious car accident. The 34-year-old, who underwent surgery for a lower limb fracture, is the club's all-time top Premier League scorer with 68 goals.
