West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has given the club and fans a boost by announcing that striker Andy Carroll will make his return from injury in tonight’s Premier League derby with QPR.
Carroll, 23, has been out for a month after injuring himself in his début game for the Hammers in the 3-0 victory over Fulham.
The big striker was rumoured to have been out for at least 6-weeks with the initial diagnosis of the injury but Allardyce revealed today that he has made excellent progress and is in line for a run out at QPR.
“He’s going to be back tonight,” Allardyce told talkSPORT today.
Great news for West Ham fans as Carroll really galvanised the team when he played his first match against Fulham.
I hope he is not rushed back into action as we really need a fit Andy Carroll and don’t need him to pick up any niggling injuries where he is put back in the team too soon.
Tonight we could see Jarvis and Carroll on the same pitch for once at some point which could prove to be very exciting.
West Ham will look to pile even more pressure on bottom of the table QPR tonight who are without a win in the Premier League this season, if we can start brightly and get an early goal Mark Hughes’ side will surely feel the pressure especially with the amount of players they have brought in over the summer, ex West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green being one of them.
