Sevilla has revealed midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak played through the pain of a cracked rib in the UEFA Super Cup loss to Barcelona.

Grzegorz Krychowiak played through the pain of a cracked rib as Sevilla fell just short against Barcelona in Tuesdays UEFA Super Cup.

Unai Emery's side fought back from 4-1 down to force extra time in Tbilisi, only for Pedro to score the winner for Barca with five minutes to go.

Poland midfielder Krychowiak dropped into the center of defence for the fixture due to an injury crisis at Sevilla, and played the entire 120 minutes, despite suffering a painful knock of his own.
