Striker did not suffer injuries after collision near club’s training complex
Liverpool host West Ham in the Premier League this afternoon, but think twice before reaching for the remote. The Hammers may have lost their talisman in Declan Rice but have still recorded three wins and a draw from their opening five games, while Liverpool have dropped just two points from a possible 15. It leaves today’s game at Anfield nicely poised, just three days after the two clubs kicked off their Europa League exploits with come-from-behind wins in their first group stage game.
West Ham hope Jarrod Bowen will have recovered from illness in time to feature against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Bowen has not trained for West Ham all week due to a virus, and he was left out of the matchday squad for the 3-1 win over TSC Backa Topola in their Europa League opener on Thursday night. New £38million signing Mohammed Kudus, who joined from Ajax this summer, scored on his first start for the club against TSC and will hope to retain his place in the starting lineup for West Ham’s match against Liverpool, who currently sit third in the Premier League table.
