“I decided along with the medical staff that I was able to play,” the defender said after last night’s match.

“The knee wasn’t giving me any particular problems, but they told me after the game with Iceland there was a bit of fluid.

“I also felt a bit of pain in my back during the match, but it was mainly the knee that was bothering me. So I decided to ask to come off at half-time.

“Unfortunately I got injured this summer, and later, without a pre-season, I played six games in just over two weeks.”
