Carroll, who had made his presence felt in the 68 minutes he managed in the 3-0 win over Fulham on 1st September, says he had to be held back from making himself available even earlier. He explained: "As soon as I stopped feeling the hamstring a week or two ago, I wanted to get back on the pitch, but they wouldn't let me because they told me it wasn't right. "I've had to keep working on it and I've got it right. I'm absolutely fine."
