Andy Carroll and Winston Reid could return to the West Ham squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Sunderland at the Boleyn Ground.

The club's co-chairman David Gold took to Twitter to suggest the pair will swell manager Slaven Bilic's selection options this weekend.

"Andy Carroll and Winston Reid should both be available for the Sunderland game," wrote Gold.

Carroll's latest injury setback saw him sustain a groin problem during the warm-up ahead of the 2-2 draw at Norwich on February 13, although he still managed to come on as a second-half substitute.
