Report: Hospital checks for Carroll

West Ham are clearly being ultra-cautious over the well being of record signing Andy Carroll after his prolonged injury history.

ClaretandHugh blogger – the very well respected ExWHUemployee – is reporting tonight that the striker was taken to the Spire Roding Hospital today.

‘Ex’ reports that the big fella was due to have an MRI scan  to check on his recovery from his injury and to ensure nothing occurred from Saturday’s match.

Carroll was seen to be hobbling at one stage during his appearance as a sub but finished the game and later ClaretandHugh was told by club insiders that all was well with the front man.

We contacted our sources after concern were raised by our followers on the CandH Facebook forum at https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/?fref=nf.

We were told that as far as anyone was concerned there appeared to be no problem but Ex’s tweet tonight suggests that absolutely no chance will be taken concerning the the player’s well being.
