Brendan Rodgers: 'I'll make decision on Andy Carroll's future in the summer'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he will make a decision regarding Andy Carroll's Anfield future at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, who has spent the season on loan at West Ham United, has been at the centre of speculation that he could be offered a role as a squad player on Merseyside.

"We've monitored it very closely," Rodgers told Fox. "We've had representatives from Liverpool at most of the games.

"It's obviously been a difficult season for Andy because his initial idea was he wanted to go out and play every week, but unfortunately for him he's picked up some injuries since he's been away.

"[His future is] nothing to discuss now. It's something we'll speak about at the end of the season."

The Hammers are thought to be open to keeping hold of Carroll, while his former club Newcastle United are reported to be considering a summer bid.
