Latest Injury (and Recovery!) Mews

adecoker

Mrs Grey, I've been told that there is apparently footage on Youtube of him tumbling down the aeroplane steps. I can't provide a link but the source is normally reliable. He told a passing journalist as he was being stretchered off the tarmac "I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Aaron and getting to know Andre over the next four months. I've done my knee".

Did it when he pulled the tray down from the seat in front, budget airlines!

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

I say he's injured, for now

SuzanneClaret

Flaming 'ek

Could you find time to make a list of the sites and users who spread these rumours, and perhaps downgrade them if they turn out to be a bit 'Bacca being unveiled at the kit launch'?

Rumour going round on other forums that Andy has done his knee and is likely out for a few months.

Luke appears to be correct about Carroll injury

ExWHU has it in his column

Well they've surely got to look for another established forward now

Vorselaarhammer

Rumours on Twitter that AC is injured.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Yep, we have a big problem now

Yeoldhammer

Reid next

Hamstew

Yes was just reading that about Carroll. Out for a long time apparently. What is going on?

Putney_Hammer

Until David gold or anyone confirms it I won't believe it ;pray

Lukerz

He's out.

My mate is quite close to the club and they fear he's tweaked his knee ligaments. Not sure on timescale as not had scan yet but looking at least 6 weeks. Def out today.

What is going on?
Even by our standard this is getting worse by the day.
If true, and Kouyate as well, our training sessions need to be looked at...
Our only hope is the transfer window is still open

Here is the link saying that Andy Carroll is injured and facing a lengthy lay-off

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/702326/Andy-Carroll-West-Ham-Injury-Premier-League-Slaven-Bilic-Gossip-Rumours-Wilfried-Bony-News

Why us? Is it the training surface, training regime, medical staff, bad luck, fragile players, ear wax, hot flushes, hot curries, heavy footballs, big shoe sizes or something else?

ASLEFshrugged

The Express says Carroll is injured quoting thewesthamway.com as the source then quotes the Daily Mail that we're after Zaza and an unattributed rumour we're after Bony.

Sadly that is how journalism works these days, some hack goes online, does a bit of Googling, checks Twitter, regurgitates what they find then adds something they could have made up.

ASLEFshrugged

Pengeman - the Express names thewesthamway.com as the source, exWHUemployee wrote the original article and is the only one saying this.

I guess we'll find out if exWHU is an ITK or not

EXETERHAMMER

This injury situation really is becoming a nightmare. If AC is out for a significant time he and West Ham have got to be the most injury cursed club........Well after Hull......and perhaps Arsenal

Yeoldhammer

don't worry he will be back in Feb get 5 goals and repeat for next season XD

Just laughing at an unsubstantiated rumour, and that even if he has taken a knock it would have been at the earliest on Friday afternoon after they arrived back in the UK at 5am on Friday morning ... and even if it was an injury in training on Friday afternoon (did they have training in Friday afternoon?) or this morning, they won't have had the medical report back yet so no-one will know how long he 'might' be out for.

Unless he fell down the aeroplane steps.

Oh, for an EasyJet 'walk across the tarmac'.

It could have been in the game Mrs G.

Out for 6 weeks apparently. ;doh

MrsGrey

I suppose so, Herb.

I'm gonna wait for confirmation from an official source (or little Jack ;doh ).

I can't be believing every rumour on the internet - I'd never get anything else done ;nonono

SuzanneClaret

I'm waiting for the scan results.

We should never have bought Carroll. Some people will still dispute that. He is injury prone. People will still dispute that.

However Bilic should never have brought him on, on a terrible pitch. The guy is a walking time bomb. Gutted.

Sakho had better get fit quick as we have very little now up top.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Need to offload him whenever we can

Simple as

Useless having a player who goes weeks at a time injured

OldCastleSwift

So we're going into our second league game of the season with Calleri and Fletcher as our striker options.

Yikes.

steve

;weep this is bad really bad only good thing is transfer window still open .could have happend in a couple of weeks .

EXETERHAMMER

Such a shame for AC. I am rarely disappointed when he plays for West Ham as he is such a handful for the opposition. Unfortunately he seems so cursed and we just cannot rely on him. Let's hope Calleri can do a job for a while.

Cheers for the info Luke. Terrible news however I appreciate the research you do for the benefit of us on here.

Who's going to buy him? We can't even sell Sakho and Valencia when they both want to leave!!!!!!!
