Swansea midfielder Sigurdsson playing through pain barrier

Swansea City boss Garry Monk admits Gylfi Sigurdsson has been playing with an injury.

Sigurdsson has been playing through the pain barrier over the last few weeks after the Iceland star sustained a bruised foot.

"Gylfi has not been training a lot over the last couple of weeks with a bruised foot so we have managed that," revealed Monk.

"In terms of his sharpness and fitness, he has not been at his peak but he still dug in and gave a performance against West Ham.

"He is not playing at 100 per cent right now. He is still playing very well but we have to be mindful because he has missed days of training through the busiest period of the season.

"We are looking to get him back to 100 per cent. Hopefully he can get a full week of training and we can go from there."
