Tom Flanagan and Reece James return for Sunderland
Posted Friday, March 15, 2019 by PA
Sunderland boss Jack Ross will be able to welcome back defenders Tom Flanagan and Reece James for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One clash with Walsall.
The pair missed the midweek draw at Barnsley through injury, but both have been declared fit and available for selection against the Saddlers.
However, skipper George Honeyman, who would have missed the Barnsley game with concussion anyway, serves the second instalment of his three-match ban after failing in an appeal to overturn his red card at Wycombe.
Ross has no fresh injury problems, with only Chris Maguire, who is recovering from a fractured fibula, and Duncan Watmore, who is expected to miss the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage, on the long-term casualty list.
Walsall manager Dean Keates will welcome back 16-goal leading scorer Andy Cook after he completed a three-match ban.
Cook was dismissed just six minutes into his side’s 3-2 victory over Bradford on February 23 for an elbow on Nathaniel Knight-Percival, but returns to contention for the trip to Wearside.
Winger Matt Jarvis missed Tuesday night’s 3-2 home defeat by Portsmouth with a minor ankle injury, while Joe Edwards shook off a knock to retain his place.
Aston Villa loanee Corey Blackett-Taylor impressed as a second-half substitute against Pompey and will hope for further action against the Black Cats.
