No fresh concerns for Sunderland while Ingram returns to Wycombe

Posted Friday, November 16, 2018 by PA

Sunderland have no new injury concerns for their Sky Bet League One clash with Wycombe on Saturday.

Midfielder Lee Cattermole (foot) has not recovered as quickly from a foot problem as had been hoped and remains sidelined while Ethan Robson and Denver Hume will also sit out the clash.

Long-term absentees Duncan Watmore and Charlie Wyke are both making good progress, with the latter back on the grass following his knee problem but three to four weeks away from a return.

Midfielder Luke O’Nien is pushing for a start against the club he left in the summer as Sunderland chase a ninth win in all competitions.

Wycombe face one of their most high-profile league opponents with a familiar face between the sticks.

Goalkeeper Matt Ingram, who began his career in Buckinghamshire before joining QPR in 2016, has returned to Adams Park on a seven-day emergency loan because of injuries to Ryan Allsop and Yves Ma-Kalambay.

Allsop is expected to be sidelined until the new year after rupturing ankle ligaments in training on Monday while Ma-Kalambay broke a bone in his hand during last week’s Checkatrade Trophy loss to Oxford.

Forwards Adebayo Akinfenwa and Nathan Tyson and defender Michael Harriman could all return following injury.
