West Ham manager Slaven Bilic says he 'can't count' on Andy Carroll, who is out for up to six weeks with a knee problem.
Carroll suffered the injury during his side's draw with Astra Giurgiu last week and is the latest name on Bilic's long list of sidelined players, which also includes Dimitri Payet, Manuel Lanzini and Andre Ayew.
The Croat said losing the former Newcastle forward is a 'big frustration', especially given the dearth of fit attacking options currently available at the London Stadium, but did say Carroll is fully dedicated to training.
'I will sign now the contract if his injury is four weeks or six weeks and, after that, good until the end of the season.
