Gold & Bilic give injury updates
Speaking on twitter late on Sunday night Gold “I am hopeful that Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet will play some part against Man City. dg”
However he did confirm the news on Carroll “Andy Carroll will be out for 4-6 weeks. He has injured his left knee during the game against Astra. dg”
During his post match conference Bilic spoke of the injury list saying “At least two of them I am expecting to come back, if not Thursday then Sunday. So two of them Payet and Lanzini are supposed to come back next game, we have a cycle of games then the international break, after that we should have Andy back. Feghouli should be back very very soon. The only two that are going to be long term and we are not talking the whole season is Cress and Andre. Even Cress because he is a very good healer should be back in October. Andre if everything goes according to what the doctor says can be playing on the pitch on 1st December but I want to stay positive and all that”
On Carroll he said “Four weeks but I am optimistic, they told me four to six weeks so I say four, it is nothing major. Andy is Andy, it’s a big blow for us, a big question mark, a big frustration”
