Phil Jagielka to play through the pain
PHIL JAGIELKA will play through the pain barrier to help Everton gatecrash a place in the top four.
I’ve got to have a jab to take a bit of the pain away
The England defender, 30, could require another painkilling injection in his ankle to get him through Everton’s Premier League clash with Tottenham on Sunday.
Jagielka said: “I’ve got to have a jab to take a bit of the pain away because there’s still a bit of scar tissue. It’s not quite healed yet but I’m happy to play.”
