West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen has been pictured in training in the build-up to Sunday's Premier League finale against Aston Villa.

The former Hull City winger has been classed as a doubt for the clash at the London Stadium, after being withdrawn in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Claret and Hugh reported that Bowen was substituted after taking a kick to the leg, and it was 50/50 whether or not he would be fit for the final game of the Premier League season.

West Ham released a number of pictures on their website on Friday, giving fans a behind-the-scenes view of procedures at Rush Green.

There were clearly a number of smiling faces after the draw at Old Trafford, and we could see that on the pitch on Sunday afternoon.

Most importantly, Bowen was seen involved with the group of players. Even better, it was a group session too.

If the 23-year-old was pictured training alone, his chances of featuring could have been slim.

Bowen and his fellow January signing Tomas Soucek have both been brilliant since the Premier League has returned and both have played a massive hand in this Premier League survival.

The winger has scored once and assisted four goals in his 12 Premier League appearances, and that is exactly the boost Moyes was hoping for.

Only Michail Antonio has averaged more shots on goal per game this season according to WhoScored, and the Irons are much better in the final third with Bowen in the side.
