Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn has refused to wave the white flag on a season that has never quite got going for him due to persistent Achilles injuries.
The 29-year-old, who has made just six Premier League starts this term, was again reduced to the role of glorified cheerleader for Rovers' dramatic come-from-behind victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Nevertheless, the one-time England player remains confident that he can yet contribute to his club's ongoing survival fight.
"The injury is not too bad," Dunn was quoted as saying on thisislancashire.co.uk. "I have got some irritation in the opposite Achilles to the one I had surgery on in the summer. It feels pretty similar to what that was.
"But I am just getting through games and will hopefully play a part in getting the right results.
"I accept I will be in pain but I have an injection to get through games. It is obviously quite sore, not training too much but the games are more important so it is a case of trying to be fit for those games rather than training.
"I’m not sure I will get too many full games between now and then. I am working with the physio all week to keep my fitness topped up, but it is difficult when you are not training to try and push for a starting place. I am not out there all the time."
