Bilel Mohsni plays through the pain barrier for Southend United at Stevenage
Blues centre-back Bilel Mohsni will continue to play through the pain with five injuries in various parts of the body when Southend United face Stevenage in League Two Tuesday evening. Moshni: 'Whatever the song says young Bilel speaks English very well as he proves in an interview with the club website, unless the media manager can add translating French to his many talents! Anyway, the exciting and unpredicitable talent that is the French-Tunisian Bilel Moshni is certainly palting through the pain barrier at the moment, but is pleased to do so. To be young again!Mohsni told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I have a lot of injuries at the moment but I love playing and as long as I am still able to do it I want to play. At the moment it hasn't caused me too many problems. I do get some pains during matches but it is getting better every day and I will just have to keep on battling through." And Bilel will certainly play this evening against niinth placed Stevenage with the shortage of fully fit central defenders, only three days after helping gain a valuable point at promotion chasing Shrewsbury.He will also be wearing a Chelsea keeper Petr Cech type headguard to help protect him, though as he comments, Cech doesn't have to head the ball much!As for the other aches and pains. Mohsni continued: "The head injury I've got happened against Accrington Stanley when I was elbowed in the face and I've now got two black eyes and a problem with forehead so that's why I'm wearing a head-guard right now. But I've got other problems too as I also injured my ankle against Macclesfield Town at the start of the month when I challenged their striker for a header and twisted it as I landed. Then I've had a problem with the cartilage in my knee for all of this season and most of last year as well when I was playing in France so I do have quite a few injuries right now but you just have to get on with it."
