CARROLL BUST-UP

Striker sent home after Moyes row

- By SAMI MOKBEL

ANDY CARROLL was banished from training yesterday following a bust-up with West Ham manager David Moyes.

The pair clashed at the club’s rush Green training complex after Moyes asked the striker why he left the substitute­s’ bench before the full-time whistle during the 4-1 defeat by Manchester City on Sunday.

Carroll appeared angry that he was not introduced during the game, with TV cameras capturing his fury as Moyes made a triple substituti­on. The Scot said after the game that he would deal with Carroll’s decision to storm off down the tunnel while his team-mates were still playing.

Moyes, a disciplina­rian, took up the issue with Carroll at training yesterday, sparking the angry flashpoint between the pair.

Sportsmail understand­s the confrontat­ion ended in Carroll being told to leave the training ground. There is no suggestion that the exchange turned physical.

It now seems likely that Moyes will formally discipline the former liverpool centre forward and his involvemen­t in Saturday’s game at leicester may be in jeopardy.

Carroll, 29, has only recently returned to fitness following a four-month layoff with an ankle injury, though he scored on his return to the side against Stoke on April 16.
