Liverpool striker Andy Carroll will make a comeback at West Ham United next week.

The Sun says the on-loan striker has made a quicker recovery than expected after being sidelined since November 28 with a knee injury.

West Ham feared Carroll, 24, could be out until early February but he has responded to treatment.

While the FA Cup replay at Manchester United next Wednesday will come too early, he will be ready for the home Premier League clash with QPR.
