Andy Carroll Over Injury Says Dalglish

Kenny Daliglish says that Andy Carroll is now totally over the injury that kept him mainly off the pitch in the second half of last season.

The striker joined Liverpool from Newcastle for £35 million in January but appearances for the club have been fleeting due to injuries.

But Carroll has already found the back of the net during pre-season and Dalglish believes that is a result of being in full training.

Speaking to LFC Magazine the manager said: Andy's injury meant he was only able to train at 100 per cent on rare occasions last season.

"He even played in some games when we knew he wasn't going to be at his best.

"Now he is fully over that knock and has been able to do a lot more on the training field in pre-season.

"That's showed in the games he has played over the last few weeks. He's fitter and scoring some goals."

Liverpool get their season underway on Saturday in a home game against Sunderland as they look to start better than they did twelve months ago.
