Carroll hoping for friendly call-up

Last updated : 31 October 2011 By Adam Bryant

"It would be nice to be involved with England and to get a run-out in the friendly,"  he said, after netting Liverpool's second goal at West Brom.

"I am working hard in training every day to get my fitness up. I can only say I am working my hardest to get back the way I was.

"I just need to keep getting my name on the starting sheet every week and see what happens from there.

"It is disappointing when you are sitting on the bench but it only makes you work harder the next day in training to get your place back."
