A fit Andy Carroll yes, but he's even older than Sturridge and his recent injury record is even worse, I think?
Interesting though that our injury record (to date) seems to have significantly improved under Rafa - only really Gayle's hamstring and perennial sick note Aarons have impacted the season. Anita had an impact injury but returned as quickly (if not quicker) than expected and no real significant training ground injuries.
Hayden as well. Are we really that much improved?
