West Ham suffer major injury setback to hit Arsenal title hopes

Arsenal faces a significant setback in their hopes for the Premier League title as West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen is doubtful for their match against Manchester City.

According to Football London, Bowen is suffering from tonsillitis, which could force him to miss the crucial game at the Etihad Stadium. This development comes at a critical juncture for Arsenal, who are relying on City dropping points to keep their title aspirations alive.

Bowen’s potential absence adds a layer of uncertainty to the already intense title race. Despite West Ham’s overall disappointing season, Bowen has been a standout performer, contributing significantly with 16 goals in the league.

His influence on West Ham’s attacking play and his goal-scoring prowess make him a key player for the Hammers. Pep Guardiola, City’s manager, has acknowledged Bowen’s threat and expressed his focus on the upcoming match against West Ham.

However, with reports indicating Bowen’s likely absence due to illness, Arsenal’s task of securing a win against Everton becomes even more crucial. While the Gunners must remain focused on their own performance, Bowen’s potential absence could impact Arsenal’s hopes of a City upset, making their final-day showdown against Everton all the more crucial in the title race.
