According to a former air crash investigator, any suggestion of damage to the engine feels premature. This possibility can not be ruled out at this early stage, but a transport aircraft such as the Boeing 737-800 is designed to keep flying, if there is damage to the motor.

Plus, if there is a fault, then we would normally expect that The Flight data, in order to show climb, the aircraft always less steep.
