Andy Carroll steps out with pregnant fiancee

West Ham striker Andy Carroll may be burdened with a knee brace resembling a Forrest Gump prop, but there were no signs of discomfort as he was pictured out and about with pregnant fiancee Billi Mucklow in the trendy east end district of Shoreditch.

Posing for a picture on Instagram titled ‘Shoreditch Sunday’s’, Carroll even put in the effort to fit in with the surroundings by sporting a pair of edgy teal jeans. Following an operation after injuring his knee in February’s goalless draw against Southampton, the forward is now set to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines.

Brazilian front man Nene was introduced to the fray against Crystal Palace on Saturday, after the Hammers’ striker crisis worsened when Carlton Cole joined Carroll on the injury list last week.
