West Ham United's Andy Carroll could be sidelined for two months

West Ham United striker Andy Carroll could be out for as long as two months with a knee injury.

The forward hobbled off during his side's 0-0 draw with Southampton this week, and the extent of his injury could be worse than initially suspected, according to The Mirror.

Carroll, who made his first appearance this month against the Saints, is thought to have aggravated a previous injury during the match.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce originally told the media that Carroll could be out for around two weeks.
