Andy Carroll set to play against Liverpool this weekend

Andy Carroll’s eagerly awaited return from injury could happen this weekend away at his former club Liverpool.
According to the Daily Mail, Carroll has shown remarkable progress in his efforts to come back from injury, and could be thrown straight back into the action on Saturday.
Carroll suffered serious damage to the MCL in his right knee back in February away at Southampton, as has been out ever since.
However, since the start of the summer, Carroll has been conducting individual training regimes with the plan of being back on the pitch by late August.
That return date was expected to be put back an extra fortnight until after the international break after is was reported that Carroll had angered an old ankle injury while putting on a pair of shoes.
Now it seems like those fears have been quashed, as the 26-year-old is back in first-team training at a full capacity working on his match sharpness, as you can see in a video posted on the official site.
The England international and West Ham’s record signing is set to be named on the bench for the Liverpool game due to the club’s lack of fit & available strikers. If he does not feature against Liverpool, he will be involved in some capacity after the international break against his boyhood club Newcastle.
As for our other strikers, Enner Valencia is still set to miss the next two months with a knee injury.
Valencia issued an apology on the official site today after comments made to South American media outlets about the incompetence of the West Ham medical staff.
Mauro Zarate will also miss this weekend’s game. After pulling his hamstring in a sprint drill last week, Zarate has been out of action in all forms.
The club, however, are hopeful that he will return sooner than expected, and he is also in contention for the Newcastle game, but remains on a ‘week to week’ basis.
A new addition to the injury table is Diafra Sakho. The Senegalese striker suffered an adductor strain in the loss to Bournemouth last weekend, and the club are working hard to get him fit and ready for the Liverpool game, thus possibly the urge to rush Carroll back into action so soon.
We’ve seen it time and time again with Andy Carroll though, re-aggravating injuries that haven’t healed properly because we desperately need someone to make an impact for us in that area of the pitch.
Hopefully, that’s not the case this time around.

They'd be practically insane to play him at all given the fact he has not played 1 minute of even a practice match against anyone.

We should not be rushing him back too soon. I looked at the video of him training & it looked very low key to me. He was only partly jumping fir the ball & it all looked very gently paced. There is no way it's worth risking him this early in a game we will really struggle to get anything from in any case.

I don't see how they can play him at all. typically after an acl problem, you do scrimmages behind closed doors and such, not full-contact, competitive league games even if it's just 5 minutes. he's had maybe two training sessions with the first team?
very foolish decision, imo, if true.

Bad enough that our cunt of an ex-Manager worsened his injury in the first place by keeping him on against Southampton, now we want to play him without any games since. If it's true pure madness.

Owww! You can just see where this is going:
He plays for 30 minutes and does OK.
Sulivan then decides he doesn't need to buy another striker
The transfer window closes on Tuesday.
Caroll gets injured in the next game and is out for 4 months.
We're fucked so we sign free agent Carlton
Sorry - It's the West Ham way!
