West Ham striker Andy Carroll is facing up two months on the sidelines with the hamstring injury he sustained in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth on Tuesday, sources have told ESPN FC.

Sources have told ESPN FC that initial scans have shown injury-plagued Carroll has suffered a slight tear to his hamstring which is set to keep him out of action for eight weeks.

Carroll, 27, has suffered numerous injury problems since joining the Hammers permanently in summer 2013, and was substituted after 15 minutes of Tuesday night's victory.
