The England striker is not seriously injured but is being left out as a precaution.
West Ham United started this season with a bang, firing on all cylinders and beating the Premier League’s top boys in style.
Then the injuries started piling up.
West Ham suffered a bout of injuries to some of their star players including Dimitri Payet, Manuel Lanzini, Diafra Sakho, Winston Reid and Enner Valencia,
Now Andy Carroll has joined the injury list. He has a groin problem and is set to miss the game with Swansea City this week. Bilic has confirmed it is just a one game injury but that has not stopped West Ham fans seeing the bad side of the news.
Carroll has struggled with injuries throughout his time at Upton Park and the fear is he is embarking on yet another injury fueled spell.
But co-chairman David Gold has made it clear that Carroll is simply out as a precaution.
In fact, he says the player wants to play the game:
Carroll is a player who is always desperate to play but with West Ham weary of him having a lengthy absence it would appear they have taken the decision out of his hands on this occasion.
Hopefully he will be back fully fit as soon as possible to give West Ham an injury lift.
