Andy Carroll
Sam Allardyce has revealed Andy Carroll is close to returning to training as West Ham’s injury crisis shows signs of easing.
The England striker has not featured for the London club since completing a big-money permanent move from Liverpool.
Carroll made a big impact during a loan
spell at Upton Park last season, but suffered a double fracture of his
right foot while he was closing in on a return from a heel problem and
has therefore played no part this term.
The former Newcastle United man has been
sorely missed by Allardyce, with West Ham struggling for goals and
hovering perilously above the Premier League relegation zone.
Stewart Downing (Achilles), Winston Reid
(ankle), Ricardo Vaz Te (shoulder) and Mladen Petric (calf) are also
sidelined, but Allardyce can see light at the end of the tunnel ahead of
the Boxing Day visit of Arsenal.
“All the injuries are progressing very
well. Andy is improving all the time and we expect him to be back among
the lads very shortly,” Soccerway quoted the manager as saying.
