I would say the most discomfort was like when the ball was below my feet or with chipping. Just like getting down a little bit to it. Honestly, overall, it was fine. Got a little bit tired at the end of the day, but yeah, it was actually all pretty good.
I tore my disc in my back when I was 18 at Tottenham. I played my whole career with that. I had a lot of calf injuries which was due to my back. I never came out and said this when I was playing because some people would say 'he's making excuses'. It was manageable but over time it caught up with me.
Despite all the amazing support I have received and my best efforts to overcome injury, I have come to accept that I can no longer reach the level of performance required to compete at the standard needed. Not being able to perform to the high standards I set for myself, combined with the mental and physical toll of ongoing injury, has ultimately brought this chapter to a close.
On the surface, Omar Bogle's career is that of your typical EFL striker. The Crewe Alexandra forward has played in every division from the Championship down to the National League North, scoring well over 150 goals across all competitions. Bogle's CV includes the highs of promotion to League Two and the Premier League, with Grimsby Town and Cardiff City respectively, as well as 2018/19 EFL Trophy glory with Portsmouth, but those on-pitch achievements have been put into perspective in the past 18 months.
We train this afternoon and he didn't train yesterday. It's very important for him how these passing hours if he is feeling better. Until the last moment I don't know if he is going to be available or not for tomorrow.

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins will not play this season because of a back injury, coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday. The Seahawks re-signed Hankins to a one-year, $2.115 million deal in May, bringing him back for a second season in Seattle and his 13th season in the NFL. But he landed on the Non-Football Injury List in July, and there had been no signs of late that he was nearing a return to practice. Macdonald declined to reveal whether Hankins, 33, had back surgery, saying, "I'll probably just leave it private right now with what's going on with his health, but he won't be with us this year."
Santander was initially taken out of the lineup before Game 4 with back issues, before Bannon reported the news. In speaking with the media, Blue Jays manager John Schneider was pressed on the potential shuffle, but was mum on the matter, simply replying, "We'll see." Per Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith, the Blue Jays are expected to know in a couple of hours what MLB's verdict is. Schneider also stated that Santander felt his back pain after the game and into the morning.
