West Ham hoping injuries to Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are not serious
West Ham are hopeful injuries to Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are nothing serious.
Bowen suffered a knee problem on international duty with England, forcing him to withdraw from the squad which travelled to North Macedonia.
But manager David Moyes has not ruled out the forward being involved at Burnley on Saturday.
Bowen has trained back at West Ham's Rush Green HQ and Moyes will make a decision closer to kick-off.
"We hope Jarrod will be available tomorrow against Burnley but we will make a decision on that tomorrow," said the Hammers boss.
There were fears striker Antonio could be out for around three months after he returned from international duty with Jamaica carrying a knee injury.
But Moyes added: "Michail has got a small injury. It's not serious, it will probably keep him out for a couple of weeks.
"I think, give or take, two weeks. I don't want to nail down an exact time span but about that long."
Moyes had to guide West Ham clear of relegation last season, so he has plenty of sympathy for Burnley and their boss, Vincent Kompany.
The Clarets are propping up the Premier League table with just one win to their name so far.
"It's incredibly tough to battle against relegation. It's a really difficult job," said Moyes.
"There's a lot of stress and worry with it because you're desperate to get away from the bottom end of the table. It's not something I've ever enjoyed or want to do again if I can help it."
