No pain, no gain for Osano

RETURNING full-back Curtis Osano revealed he was playing through the pain barrier as he helped Hatters hammer Barrow 5-1 at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

The Kenyan full-back hasn’t figured since injuring the big toe on his right foot in the 1-1 draw at Stockport County earlier in the season.

But having proved his fitness in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Wycombe Wanderers last week, he was delighted to be back, saying: “It sounds quite embarrassing to say. I made a tackle at Stockport and the pain and the swelling never went away.”
