Featured image doesn’t appear in Blog index

Managed to find an alternative function that correctly calls the featured image set for the Blog index page by using this:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() && get_option('page_for_posts') ) {
    echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url( get_option('page_for_posts') );
} ?>

Thanks to those for your help
