Andy Carroll suffers another injury setback

Injury-jinxed West Ham striker Andy Carroll is back on the treatment table and will miss Sunday’s FA Cup clash at Blackburn.

The 27-year-old forward had just returned from a month out with a hamstring problem when he suffered an adductor injury after coming on as a substitute during last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Norwich.

Carroll has been beset by injury problems since joining the Hammers and has started just 31 Premier League games in two-and-a-half years.
