West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has pulled out of the England squad.

The on-loan Liverpool striker suffered a hamstring injury during an impressive debut in his side's 3-0 win over Fulham this afternoon.

Manager Sam Allardyce said after the game it was unlikely Carroll would be able to join up with the England squad.

The FA have confirmed that on Saturday evening, although no decision will be made about replacements until after Sunday's three Barclays Premier League games have been played.

"West Ham United forward Andy Carroll has withdrawn from the England squad to face Moldova and Ukraine," said the FA in a statement.

"After picking up an injury in the match against Fulham, Carroll will not be part of the squad for England's opening FIFA World Cup qualifying matches next week.

"Any decision on whether to call additional players into the squad will not be made until after the three fixtures on Sunday have been completed."
