July 31, July 31, The Sun reported that due to injury, Andy Carroll's debut for England's sixth-level team Durgenham will be postponed to at least September.

36-year-old Carroll will not be able to participate in the club's home opening match on August 9, against Ebbs Fleet United. Head coach Lee Bradbury revealed that the star, who played for Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham, is suffering from a hamstring injury and must wait patiently for recovery.

Bradbury said when asked about the first team injury: "From the front line, Andy Carroll will be out for four to six weeks due to a hamstring injury, which is a huge loss for us." In addition to Carroll, right back Demi Lusala, midfielder Connor Lawrence and George Malsh also had injuries, and forward Donovan Wilson may need to be cast after a broken hand.

Bradbury added: "These injuries broke out in the critical period of pre-season preparation, and we have to be extra cautious. Fortunately, there will be no mid-week games in the next two weeks, so we can focus on improving the team through training grounds, gyms and tactical classes. We will have new players joining, and more importantly, let at least three to four injured players resume competitive positions. If two-thirds of the injured players can be retrieved, the team's competitiveness will be greatly improved."

Carol's potential choices for his debut include home matches against Wojing on September 6 or away challenge to Du Jin on September 20.

Carol joined Dargenham after leaving the French amateur team Bordeaux this summer. As Qatar Investment Group completes its acquisition of the club, Carol has also become one of the club's shareholders.
