Black Cats enforcer ruled out for three months
Sunderland’s combative midfielder Lee Cattermole will be out until the New Year after suffering knee ligament damage last weekend.
The £6m summer signing from Wigan, who has made an impressive start at the Stadium of Light, was stretchered off in the 1-0 over Liverpool and now faces 12 weeks on the sidelines.
“It’s not good news, but it’s the best we could have hoped,” said Sunderland boss Steve Bruce.
“We were all praying he hadn’t done his cruciate and damaged cartilage, which thankfully he hasn’t – but he’s still out for the best part of three months.”
