LONDON (AP) — West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen will be sidelined indefinitely with a fractured left foot, the club said on Tuesday.
Bowen suffered the injury during Sunday’s 5-0 loss to Premier League leader Liverpool and was substituted in the second half.
“The injury to his left foot, picked up in the first half at London Stadium, will sideline the Hammers captain heading into the New Year,” West Ham said in a statement.
Bowen has been a key player for the Irons this season, scoring six goals in all competitions.
He revealed he had sustained the injury during the first half, but tried to play on.
“As always I tried to fight on and continue playing until I physically couldn’t,” Bowen wrote on Instagram.
“Injuries happen in football, but I’m already looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible. See you all soon.”

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — U.S. Olympic runner Fred Kerley has been arrested in South Florida following a confrontation with police, authorities said.
Body camera footage released by Miami Beach police shows Kerley arguing with a group of officers late Thursday before a physical confrontation erupted. Kerley was wrestled to the ground, where an officer stuck him several times and then used a Taser on the 29-year-old sprinter, police said.
According to an arrest report, officers were investigating an unrelated active police scene when Kerley approached the area and attempted to force his way through to his vehicle, which was parked nearby. Officers had told Kerley to go around the area, but Kerley began to argue with them, which led to a shoving match with police.
Four officers tried to take Kerley into custody while he moved to evade arrest, officials said. After being stunned with the Taser, Kerley was taken to a local hospital and then to the Miami-Dade County jail.
Kerley is charged with battery, resisting an officer and disorderly conduct. Online court records didn't immediately list an attorney for Kerley, and USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track and field in the U.S., declined to comment on the arrest.
Kerley won the silver medal for the 100 meters at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and the bronze for the same event at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. He has also earned six medals at the World Athletics Championships.
