West Brom defender Paul Robinson has revealed he is taking painkillers before every game in a bid to play a full part in the promotion run-in.Left-back Robinson has been struggling with an abdominal muscle problem in recent weeks but is determined not to miss any games as Tony Mowbray's side attempt to secure a play-off berth. "I have to keep having jabs before games. This is an important run-in for us now and I don't want to miss the games. I want to play and need the jabs before each match to take the pain away. The problem is just scar tissue on my abdominal muscle. Hopefully it will clear up with rest in the summer." he told the clubs official website.
