West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says he's still planning around Andy Carroll.
Carroll's repeated injury problems have frustrated the manager.
"It is very bad for a manager and his staff when you are counting on someone, someone you really like and trust," Bilic said of Carroll's latest injury.
"He is bringing you quality in every game, you count on him and then suddenly he is out.
"I'm never going to give up on Andy, he is so good and I like to stick with the players I feel are giving me everything."
