Slaven Bilic has revealed that Andy Carroll is a doubt for West Ham United's Premier League clash away to Middlesbrough after suffering a whiplash injury.
The striker scored an acrobatic scissor kick during last weekend's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, but complained of neck pain after the game and had to sit out training earlier this week.
"He's got a whiplash injury, that's what I was told from the physios," Bilic told Sky Sports News. "Then I went to the dictionary basically to find out what that is. It was a sore neck, but hopefully he will be okay.
"It was at the end of the game, I don't know how he got it. He then trained Tuesday very hard, he was brilliant in training, but then reported some neck pain. But as I say, hopefully he will be okay."
The Hammers currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
