Young to play in pain

03 May 2009 14:03
Aston Villa right-back Luke Young will have to play through the pain barrier if he is to participate in the final four games of the campaign - starting with the home Barclays Premier League clash with Hull. Young missed the 1-1 draw at Bolton with a foot injury which has dogged him for several weeks despite having painkilling injections but Villa are hopeful he can return to training on Saturday. Striker Gabriel Agbonlahor and midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker could also come into contention after recent hamstring and knee setbacks. Agbonlahor is Villa's joint top scorer with 13 goals and will be hoping to help Martin O'Neill's side end a run of 12 matches without a win.
