Bowen, 28, picked up the problem in the first-half but tried to play on.
But following a tackle by Alexis Mac Allister, the England winger limped off on the hour mark.
West Ham confirmed the news in a statement, which read: “West Ham United can confirm Jarrod Bowen sustained a fractured foot injury in Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool.
“The injury to his left foot, picked up in the second half at London Stadium, will sideline the Hammers captain heading into the New Year.”
Bowen wrote on Instagram: “Unfortunately in the first half of our game on Sunday I suffered a fracture to a bone in my foot.
“As always I tried to fight on and continue playing until I physically couldn’t.
“Injuries happen in football but I’m already looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible. See you all soon!”
