'There is a chance' - Sky pundit drops potential Bowen boost before West Ham play Sevilla

Sky Sports pundit Teddy Sheringham has claimed that Jarrod Bowen may get called up to the England national team, speaking in the build-up to the Hammers’ potentially season-defining clash with Sevilla.

Hammers fans looked on in worry as Bowen was substituted off during Saturday’s match against Liverpool, as their star man suffered an apparent heel injury.

The 25-year-old had to be helped down the tunnel by two of the Irons’ medical staff, igniting fears that the damage sustained could have potentially been quite serious, especially if it was anything around the achilles.

However, West Ham have now confirmed that the winger has not suffered any significant damage in the wake of the Liverpool defeat. This has sparked hopes of seeing an almost immediate return to action, with The Athletic claiming he could miss just one or two matches.

Sheringham, who featured on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football show, has claimed that with Marcus Rashford’s poor form, Bowen is in line for a huge personal boost.

As quoted by football.london, he said: “Rashford is having a tough time at the moment, he can’t get in the Manchester United team and Jarrod Bowen has been on fire, scoring goals and making goals. There’s a case for him being picked in the England squad with Rashford coming out if you’re doing it on recent form. There is a chance that will happen.”

Getting selected for England would come as a huge boost for Bowen and his confidence, as he is clearly becoming one of the top attacking talents in the Premier League. Shining on the international stage is the obvious next step, following in the footsteps of Declan Rice.

The effect on West Ham will only be positive in the short-term too. The 25-year-old will be full of confidence heading
