West Ham striker Andy Carroll is hopeful his recent injuries problems are behind him after scoring the winner against Swansea on Saturday.
Carroll praised the club's medical team for getting him back to fitness in time to make a match-winning start against Swansea as West Ham claimed only their second Premier League win in 10 games. He said: "I've been keeping fit in the gym and all the backroom staff have been helping me. The fitness coaches and physios have been on me, working me hard. "When I couldn't run I was in the gym and the hard work paid off with 90 minutes on Saturday. "I didn't find out until the day of the game that I was going to start and obviously I was over the moon with the decision. I just had to work hard, run around and keep the ball as much as I could. "It was a tough game and I'm just happy that we got the three points."
