West Ham United striker Andy Carroll scored on his last appearance for David Moyes’ side.

David Moyes has admitted to Football London that Andy Carroll is still not fit enough to play 90 minutes.

Carroll came off the bench to score a crucial equaliser for West Ham in their last match against Stoke City.

However, it seems that featuring for a full game is still beyond the target-man.

Moyes said, when asked about Carroll’s fitness: “Is he ready for 90 minutes? No.”

Carroll has, once again, had a season which has been plagued with injury problems.

The England international has managed just 13 Premier League appearances, and scored on three occasions.

Carroll has proven a useful weapon for West Ham when he has been fit, but he has consistently struggled against injury during his time at the London Stadium.

West Ham’s next match comes against Arsenal on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, when Carroll appears most likely to be used from the substitutes’ bench again.

If West Ham can pick up another victory this season that will surely seal their status as a Premier League club, after what has been a frustrating battle against the drop this term.
