Slaven Bilic has told Andy Carroll he has to show he can stay fit and injury-free this season if he wants to earn a new West Ham contract.
Carroll is approaching the time for talks over an extension to his deal, and the 28-year-old is set to start a third game on the trot when Tottenham visit the London Stadium for today's derby.
'This is his season to be fit, to stay fit,' said West Ham manager Bilic. 'He's got two years (on his current contract). If we are talking about his contract, the question mark about him is his fitness, how much he is available during the season.
