Sullivan confirms Carroll issue

Andy Carroll will be missing from action for up to a fortnight with a groin problem

Jack Sullivan has today confirmed precisely what ClaretandHugh told you last week – that the big striker has issues with an ongoing groin injury.

We reported that AC had headed straight for Spire Roding Hospital on his return from the squad’s tour of the United States where he underwent a scan on the groin problem after continuing to be troubled by problems in the area.

Carroll has made the trip to Austria and hopefully will make progress although Sullivan jnr has claimed he will be out for about two weeks despite pictures emerging of the striker in training.

Questioned by a follower on Twitter (above) about the injury Jack made it clear that Carroll was indeed injured and would be out for “about two weeks.”
