  • Jarrod Bowen was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man England World Cup squad on Friday, hours before West Ham’s relegation fight entered its final stretch.
  • Nuno Espirito Santo said the captain was "sad" but expected him to refocus on Sunday, insisting Bowen should simply be himself rather than try to prove anything.
  • West Ham must beat Leeds and also need Everton to take a favorable result against Tottenham to stay in the Premier League.
  • Bowen has not scored since February, but Nuno backed his work rate, leadership and commitment as the Hammers prepare for what he called the biggest match of his 14-year managerial career.
  • Both decisive 4 p.m. Sunday games will shape the futures of West Ham and Tottenham, with Nuno stressing his side must reward a huge fanbase expected to back them from the first minute.
