West Ham United fear Andy Carroll could be sidelined for another four months.
The Mirror says the club are hopeful that the extent of the setback is nothing more than a twisted ankle, which they feel would rule Carroll out for two to four weeks.
There are, however, concerns that lightning may have struck twice for the luckless England frontman.
And the Hammers now face an anxious wait to see how his ankle responds to treatment over the next few days.
