Everton's Jagielka to play a few more week with painkilling injections

Everton defender Phil Jagielka will have to play a few more matches with painkilling injections for an injured toe.

The England international has remained in the Toffees first team despite sustaining the injury at Fulham last month and says that injections will be required for another couple of weeks to allow him to continue to play.

"There is not much we can do (about the toe)," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"It will be a few weeks before we get to the stage where I don't need injections, but I don't feel anything while I am playing - it is the car journeys home when it starts to get a bit sore."
