            <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) </strong>has picked up an injury - but what's the latest on his fitness, and is he now a sell in Fantasy Premier League (FPL)?</p>
<p>The West Ham man has scored more FPL points than any midfielder other than <strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.1m)</strong> and <strong>Son Heung-min (£9.8m)</strong> this season, with those two now also <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/which-premier-league-players-are-heading-to-afcon-and-the-asian-cup/">out of action</a>.</p>
<p>Here is all the latest on the duration of Bowen's absence, and potential FPL replacements for the Hammers' talisman.</p>

<h2>What happened to Bowen? What's the latest on his fitness?</h2>
<p>Bowen looked to be struggling as he left the pitch at the end of West Ham's last game, having scored his side's only goal in a 1-1 draw against Bristol City in the FA Cup.</p>
<p>It appeared to be an injury to his left ankle, which is less than reassuring in the case of a player widely known for his wand of a left foot.</p>
<p>West Ham have confirmed that they will conduct tests on Bowen once the swelling around his ankle has reduced.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/5190314/2024/01/09/bowen-paqueta-west-ham-injuries/?source=emp-shared-article&amp;access_token=3266202&amp;redirected=1">The Athletic</a>, initial expectations were that the England man will be out for "at least a month".</p>
<p>Based on that timeline, Bowen would have been unlikely to return until West Ham face Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 25.</p>
<p>However, news filtering through on Wednesday suggests that Bowen may only miss 2-3 weeks, which could see him make a return as early as Gameweek 22.</p>
<h2><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61078" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-21.04.10.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="648" /></h2>
<p>We're still waiting for an official update from David Moyes, which will likely come in his press conference later this week.</p>
<p>Until then, it remains unclear exactly which gameweek will see Bowen make his return, although all signs point to him being ruled out of Gameweek 21 at the very least.</p>
<p>For more on Bowen's fitness, keep an eye on injury analyst Ben Dinnery's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-predicted-lineups">predicted lineups and team news piece</a><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-predicted-lineups">,</a> as he provides a neat summary of the key quotes from all twenty press conferences.</p>

<h2>Should Bowen be sold in FPL?</h2>
<p>With plenty of absences this gameweek due to <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/which-premier-league-players-are-heading-to-afcon-and-the-asian-cup/">internationals</a> amongst other issues, selling Bowen may not be a top priority for FPL managers - particularly if you have decent cover on your bench.</p>
<p>However, while it feels relatively safe to assume he'll miss the Hammers' trip to Sheffield United, it remains to be seen if he’ll miss Bournemouth the following gameweek.</p>
<p>David Moyes' side have a couple of tough games after that, with a trip to Old Trafford followed by a home game against Arsenal in Gameweek 24.</p>
<p>The Bournemouth fixture in Gameweek 22 could be a key factor, unless you're planning to hold him all the way through to Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 25.</p>

<p>On that note, according to the Hub's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-price-rises">price changes predictor</a>, Bowen is a long way off a drop in price.</p>
<p>This eases the time pressure of making an early transfer decision, but things can change quickly.</p>
