New £16m signing Andy Carroll could be fit for the first Premier League game of the season, says assistant manager Neil McDonald.
The big striker is currently recuperating from a heel injury that forced him out of the England squad for the recent friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil, and was originally expected to miss the first month of the season, but could yet make the season opener, according to No 2 McDonald.
"Andy is well underway in his rehab and is working really hard on the training ground- we just have to be a little bit patient," McDonald told the Sun.
"The injury that he has is quite extensive and it takes time for the body to heal itself. He is doing everything he can to push on and there is still plenty of time for him to get ready for the new season."
Carroll is the club's only injury worry, other than left back George McCartney who continues his recovery from a recurring cruciate injury suffered in December of last year.
