Ricketts to Play Through Injuries

Last updated : 08 April 2005 By Gary Fish

Wales defender Sam Ricketts is hoping he can carry his worsening groin and abdominal injuries until the end of the season.

"It's getting worse,” said the Swansea full-back.

"Last weekend was the first time I've had to come off, but I'm hoping it was because it had been a long week with three games and a lot of travelling.

"I'm still waiting to see if I need an operation, but hope to get to the end of the season and rest will cure it."

Swansea are currently on course to win a place in League One next year if they remain in the top three in League Two.
