Lucas Paqueta and James Ward-Prowse scored after Pabio Sarabia’s first-half penalty as West Ham came from behind to secure all three points, but Bowen’s injury will have taken some of the gloss off the visitors’ victory.
Bowen, the Hammers’ top scorer in the Premier League with 15 goals this season, was kneed from behind by Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes shortly into the second period and initially attempted to play on at Molineux.
But it quickly became clear that the England international could not continue and Aaron Cresswell came on in his place in the 54th minute.
The Irons travel to Germany for the first leg of their eagerly anticipated Europa League quarter-final with Bundesliga on Thursday night and it remains to be seen if Bowen will be passed fit to feature against the Bundesliga leaders at BayArena.
‘We have to hope he’s okay,’ West Ham manager Moyes told reporters when asked for an update on Bowen’s injury at his post-match press conference.
‘You need all your top players at this stage of the season and Jarrod is one who’s been doing great for us.
‘It looks like he’s had a knee into his hip, or his back. It’s not a twist or anything like that. He’s really stiff and I’ve had one or two of those myself and they don’t go away too quick.’
Moyes hopes Bowen is able to recover in time for West Ham’s clash with Leverkusen in five days time, with the England attacker telling his manager he was ‘feeling sore’ after the game.
‘We need to hope it doesn’t linger,’ Moyes added.
‘I asked Jarrod how he’s feeling and he said he feels sore. I’m just hoping it’s not too bad.
‘Every week you need your big players to be ready, but we need him this week.’
