West Ham Star Admits He Is Playing Through the Pain Barrier With Knee Injury

West Ham striker Mark Arnautovic has revealed that he is currently playing through the pain barrier after a knee injury sustained earlier this month.

Arnautovic was taken off in the second half of West Ham's 3-1 win at Everton on September 16 with a knee injury which kept him out of the following week's goalless draw against Chelsea.

He returned to the starting lineup against Manchester United on Saturday and gave a performance full of energy and character, rounded off with a deserved goal as West Ham won 3-1.

His injury is not full healed and will continue to cause him pain for a while, but the Austrian is determined to play in spite of this.
