Carroll’s knockout form goes too far?

It didn’t take long for news to spread and both the Mail and Times are now running with the story. Culkin is often a lot closer to the issues at the club and suggests a source close to Taylor is confirming that his jaw is thought to be broken.
It’s thought the club are refusing to comment but Caulkin understands a meeting, called by the club’s hierarchy, was held at the training ground, in which players and staff were warned not to discuss the episode publicly while an internal investigation was conducted. Without any confirmation, it’s all based on potentially vicious rumours and piecing information together. After all, Taylor is not thought to be at the stage where he’s involved in anything physical and if both injuries are confirmed then it doesn’t take a mathematical genius to come to a conclusion.
The information on the Carroll injury seems pretty solid due to a number of sightings at the RVI in Newcastle but it remains to be seen whether the Taylor part of the story is substantiated. And if it is, even regardless of considerations over Carroll’s recent fine form and a potential delay in Taylor’s return, it’s the last thing the club needs at this crucial stage of the season in terms of bad press and more distractions.
I certainly hope that this is untrue. Would be typical though! :(
