West Ham injury update: Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Konstantinos Mavropanos latest news and return dates

David Moyes went full strength for West Ham’s FA Cup tie with Bristol City on Sunday and it came at a cost.

The Hammers not only drew the game and were duly forced to a replay that interrupts what would have been a much-needed winter break but Moyes watched the injury problems pile up.

Lucas Paqueta and Konstantinos Mavropanos were both forced off during the 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, while Jarrod Bowen appeared to be struggling towards the full-time whistle.

Michail Antonio is yet to make his return too, leaving the Irons boss light.

Here’s a look at the latest West Ham injuries

Jarrod Bowen

Bowen scored his 14th goal of the season to put West Ham into the lead and, as ever, was bright throughout.

Towards the closing stages, however, the England international had to be assisted off the field by two members of the medical staff after appearing to injur his left ankle.

“I couldn’t give you any update at all,” Moyes said in his post-match press conference. “I’ve not even to spoken to the medical team since the end of the game, so I couldn’t give you anything on that.”

Potential return date: Unknown

Lucas Paqueta

The influential Paqueta lasted less than 15 minutes on his return from a knee problem, with his glorious pass to Bowen for the opener proving his final involvement.

Moyes confirmed after the game that the Brazilian had suffered a reoccurrence of his knee issue.

“I’m more disappointed about Lucas Paqueta, we got him back and then he’s out after five or ten minutes,” he said.

"We were all of the understanding that things were fine, he trained yesterday. But obviously something must be annoying him. It’s the same injury.”

Konstantinos Mavropanos

Like Paqueta, Konstantinos Mavropanos was forced off in the first-half after landing awkwardly following a challenge from Tommy Conway while in the air.

Any injury to the Greek international would leave Moyes light in defence with Nayef Aguerd away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Potential return date: Unknown

Michail Antonio

The forward suffered a setback in training as he closed in on a return from a knee problem to have ruled him out since November.
