Norwich midfielder Jacob Sorensen ready to play through pain barrier

Norwich City midfielder Jacob Sorensen is willing to play through the pain barrier for the remainder of the season.

The Danish defensive midfielder impressed during the 2-1 home win over Everton in January but tweaked a knee ligament in a tackle just 20 minutes into the 3-0 win at Watford that followed.

“I've been struggling with minor injuries in the last few months but I'm almost 100 per cent again now," Sorensen told the Pink'Un.

“I blocked a ball and then I think it was Tom Cleverley, who fell against my left knee, which got a small twist affecting the inner ligament.

“It took about five weeks to get over that and begin to train with the team again, but it was not too good - and now I've had an injection in the knee, which is anti-inflammatory that should help. So I'm banking on that.

“Now I have a little break here in relation to that injection, and then hope that I can train again on Monday."
