Cresswell To Battle On

Last updated : 16 February 2006 By Kevin Markey
Fears that the 28-year-old's season was over were dispelled by his appearance as a second-half substitute against Watford.

Scans have confirmed the striker does have a cartilage problem but he can still manage to play, albeit with some discomfort.

"I'm just going to see how it goes in the next few weeks, but it felt great on Tuesday night and hopefully I will be able to carry on," he said.

"The physios have done a fantastic job on me and the knee has settled down. I am sure I will be able to carry on as normal to the end of the season.

"We might look at it again then but, for the moment, I don't think there's going to be any problem. I just want to play football."
