Slaven Bilic has promised to keep faith with Andy Carroll, whose injury woes continue to undermine his career at West Ham.
The striker has featured in only half of the Hammers' Premier League games this season, with a litany of fitness problems disrupting another campaign.
"Andy Carroll won't be able to play against Liverpool. He's still feeling his groin. It's nothing major but he will miss the game," Bilic said.
"It is not a subject for now, but Andy is kind of a player that has such a big impact on our game that we won't give up on him.
"Especially now, as this has nothing to do with lifestyle or not being committed enough.
"He works really hard, it was bad luck and, as I said, I will never give up on him.
"On the other hand, it is no good having a player whose name you put down first, second or third and can't rely on him."
"He's a great captain and he wanted to help the club..."May 12, 2017
