Andy Carroll is reportedly undergoing gruelling double sessions of fitness work to get him back into shape ahead of the new Premier League season, according to reports.
Under the watchful new West Ham of new head of medical services Gary Lewin, the injury-plagued frontman - who won't be fit for the start of the season - is undergoing a tough regime, pushing him to the absolute maximum with double training, fitness sessions and "punishing gym work" which is hoped will discover where he injury problems are coming from.
Although, it doesn't actually say who is reporting it...
so if Lanzini is out he joins the list of Antonio,Carroll, Kouyote.plus perhaps Reid and Sahko who might not be match fit, Nothing like having a fit squad to hit the ground running ;weep
There's many a niggle, knock and 'a bit sore' which means you can walk around perfectly well, but as soon as you start to run, it hurts more and you can 'feel it'. And therefore which need to be rested. You need look no further than my right hamstring ;wink
Unless Inkersole is a doctor/physio and actually took a case history and examined Lanzini (or saw the scans) I think I'll eschew the conspiracy theories on this one. ;biggrin
1. Cresswell had a knock, 'will be available for the weekend'.
2. Antonio trained all week with the first team, if there are no probs after the U23 game tonight will 'train fully' next week and be available for selection next weekend.
3. Cheikhou Kouyate + Lanzini - both 'close to joining in full training' and 'hope both will be available before the international break'
4. Sakho - no problems after paying in the U23 game. Has trained for a full week. Next steps: get him some match time.
5. ' Andy Carroll has stepped up his rehab.. we are hoping to have him back in full training in the near future... things can change, but we are looking at days not weeks ...'
I wish we really knew what was wrong with him. However he has so long out most players could recover from broken legs etc and still come back before he is available. It does not make sense that he can be out of the side for such very long periods if he just has strains etc.
Hutton, that's why I asked the question. It just doesn't make sense. Unless I missed it we've never been told what is wrong with him. Most clubs announce the nature of the injury to their players I think. As far as I remember Carroll went of with something not very significant in April was it? and here we are after a full summer we are now almost into September. Nearly 5 months. There has to be more to all of this.

(Edit by MrsG. To help those who struggle to read that, it says Lanzini, Arnie and Cresswell are good to go. )

I think that will be a bit optimistic.

Everybody else is ok.
Ha ha ha ha ha !! That's a good one.
How on earth can he be injured he hardly ever plays a game of football.
It's like me working for a company and never turning up for work but the company still paying me as I could be good if I could be bothered to turn up.
However he has so long out most players could recover from broken legs etc and still come back before he is available.

Manu decided than rather than go on international duty with Argentina he wanted to ensure that he was available for the match.
