Sunderland AFC transfer news RECAP: Roy Keane to Celtic and Jordan Jones injury latest as Lee Johnson's side prepare for Bristol Rovers clash
Sunderland are gearing up for this weekend’s trip to Bristol Rovers and could move into the automatic promotion places with a win at the Memorial Stadium.
Lee Johnson’s side have won eight of their last 10 games in League One and saw promotion rivals Peterborough lose 3-1 at Blackpool earlier this week.
The Black Cats will be hoping for positive news on the injury front after Rangers loanee Jordan Jones was forced to withdraw from the Northern Ireland squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Jones has missed Sunderland’s last three matches, including the Papa John’s Trophy final at Wembley, but was involved in some light training sessions last week.
Left-back Denver Hume has also been stepping up his recovery following a hamstring issue and should provide another boost for the Black Cats in the coming weeks.
We’ll have the latest news, analysis, transfer talk and more from the Stadium of Light throughout the day.
