Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has revealed that he carried on playing through the pain barrier in the opening exchanges of this season after suffering a broken toe while on international duty in September.
The centre-back, who has made just nine Premier League appearances this term, made the admission after experiencing some tightening during Sweden's 5-0 win over Azerbaijan in their latest European Championship qualifier on Monday night. Lindelof started and played the full 90 minutes as Janne Andersson's side secured their first win of their qualifying campaign.
Despite concluding the full contest, Lindelof, according to a report by Aftonbladet, 'received treatment' after the full-time whistle. And the defender, who will turn 29 in July, revealed in a post-match interview that he experienced some pain during the contest, opening up on a broken toe injury that he had previously kept under wraps.
