Irons explain Carroll’s Norwich injury worries

Fears that Andy Carroll will make a return to the treatment room after lunging into a tackle on Saturday against Norwich City have proved unfounded.

The big fella appeared to be hobbling after making the challenge but the Hammers told ClaretandHugh this evening that all appears to be well with the club’s record signing.

Everybody’s heart leaps into their mouth whenever the £17 million record signing launches himself into action but the club have explained to ClaretandHugh that all appears to be well.

Indeed our senior source was delighted about his performance as sub claiming it was his presence in the box which scared the Norwich City defence sufficiently for Cheik Kouyate to grab the late leveller.

And it would be surprising if the big man doesn’t see more action at Sunderland this weekend where his presence could worry a mistake-ridden Sunderland defence half to death.

Our source explained that all was well with the player declaring: “He seems fine. There have been no reports to the contrary.

“He has a real chance to make a proper return as with Sakho in such superb form there’s no necessity to rush him back as has sometimes been the case in the past.”
