Carroll’s new injury – you couldn’t make it up!
You really couldn’t make it up!
Andy Carroll may have suffered his most bizarre injury to date with the latest forecast being that he will be back for the match against Newcastle on Saturday.
However, given the nature and cause of the latest setback it’s difficult to see how anybody can make any sort of forecast as far as the striker is concerned.
ClaretandHugh has learned that the player incurred the latest injury whilst leaping from his seat as Chicharito hit the bar in what looked likely to be the winner against Arsenal.
We were told that he didn’t realise it at the time but that Carroll had tweaked his back and when he started training the next day found he was okay whilst running in straight lines but that that pain emerged once he started moving from side to side.
An insider explained that it was a minor back problem adding that he should be available for Newcastle. However, it all means that the one time record signing has been missing since the match against Leicester City on November 24.
He has now played in just eight Premier League games incurring red card along the way.
