CSKA centre-back Liam Cooper insists on taking part in the upcoming derby with Levski in Saturday at 15:45, reports "Tema Sport", quoted by Topsport.
Although recent medicals have shown that the Scot has torn a muscle fiber in his abdomen measuring around 2.5 centimeters and is in serious pain, he will do his best to be available to Alexander Tomas at the weekend.
In Borisova gradina, an option is being discussed in which the 33-year-old football player will go on the field with pain-killing injections.
As is known, Cooper was forced off before the break in the 1-0 loss to Septemvri (Sofia) before the break for national team matches, with a suspected cracked rib. He even flew to the Island, where he was also examined by the medical staff of his until recently club Leeds.
At the moment, a definite answer cannot be given yet whether the Scotsman will be able to play on Saturday against Levski.
