Andy Carroll disappeared down the tunnel before the full-time whistle of West Ham’s loss to Man City.
West Ham United manager David Moyes has told Sky Sports that he will “deal with” Andy Carroll after the Hammers striker headed down the tunnel from the substitutes’ bench before the full-time whistle on Sunday.
Carroll, 29, started the game on the bench for the Hammers, but Moyes decided to deploy a triple substitution in the 65th minute of West Ham’s 4-1 loss to Manchester City.
Javier Hernandez, Joao Mario and Arthur Masuaku entered the field of play, leaving Carroll as an unused substitute which prompted the England international to leave the sidelines early. Moyes said he will deal with the striker.
“It’s something I’ll deal with,” Moyes said. “In this situation what you need is everybody to be a team member so if he has done that, I’ll look at it and I’ll deal with it.”
The Hammers could do nothing to prevent the heavy loss to Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions, leaving the east Londoners in 15th place and only three points above the drop zone.
The former Newcastle United striker’s future at the London Stadium is already in doubt, with only a year left on a contract the Daily Star claim is worth £70,000 a week.
However, the majority of West Ham fans defended Carroll with one fan described Moyes as “embarrassing”.
