The Black Cats' players and staff had been due to fly back to the North East immediately after last night's 1-0 defeat in the League Cup.

However, because of the conditions, they were forced to stay an extra night on the south coast.

A spokesman for the club confirmed to the Echo that the flight home had been rearranged for today, and they are due to set off early this afternoon.
