West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that he does not expect Andy Carroll to depart the club in January, despite the striker’s contract only having six months to run.
Carroll’s renowned injury troubles have continued this season and have seen the 29-year-old make just eight Premier League appearances so far under Pellegrini. The striker was handed his first start in a year during the Hammers’ recent 2-2 draw with Brighton.
The former Liverpool forward was taken off at half time during the match, with his future at the London Stadium largely up in the air.
