ANDY CARROLL has undergone a second surgery on his troublesome ankle as he aims to be fit for next season with his West Ham career over.
The former England star, 30, went under the knife earlier this month but has had to book in for another operation to fix the issue.
Carroll is out of contract at West Ham this summer and will likely have to leave in a desperate bid to find first-team football.
It wasn’t that long ago Chelsea and Tottenham were rumoured to be knocking on his door in an unlikely January swoop.
But now, the injury-prone forward will be worried about whether or not anyone will take a chance on him for the 2019-20 season.
Carroll had already missed the first four months of the current campaign following a separate ankle surgery.
The nine-cap England star went on to make 14 appearances in all competitions between December and February, scoring once, before being hit by his ankle curse once more.
