West Ham United strikers Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho have flown to Dubai to link up with the rest of the squad in a bid to recover from their respective injuries.

Sakho has been missing in action since December with a back injury and is still some weeks away from a full recovery.

Meanwhile, Carroll is struggling with a minor groin injury, but he could be available for the Hammers' next league game at Watford.

A West Ham source revealed to The Sun: "Andy and Diafra were both on the plane. They are rapidly recovering and are hopeful of a big end to the season.

"They have both had their injury problems, but hopefully that is all behind them now and they can kick-on."
