Slaven gives promising Andy Carroll update

Slaven Bilic has given a hint Andy Carroll could be on the bench for tomorrow’s game at Old Trafford for the EFL quarter final against Manchester United but has promised if he does not make it he will definitely be ready for Saturday against Arsenal. Slav admitted Carroll sometimes feels discomfort after intense training but says they will make a decision after Tuesday’s training session whether he makes the trip to Manchester.

Slav was speaking to the press at Rush Green ahead of training and said “We are going to see what happens today. Andy has a good recovery and has been training with us. If he progresses well and there are not any minor setbacks, he will definitely be ready for Saturday and we will make a decision about the United game after training. We will assess him after training to see how he is. With Andy we take it on a daily basis.”
