Sunderland vs Walsall - Lee Cattermole eyeing Sunderland return against Saddlers

Lee Cattermole could return to Sunderland’s starting line-up for Tuesday’s FA Cup second-round replay against Walsall.

Cattermole has been sidelined for over a month with a foot injury but is set to figure as boss Jack Ross prepares to make a number of changes.

Defender Adam Matthews will definitely miss the match after sustaining a knock during Saturday’s League One draw at Accrington Stanley.

Charlie Wyke is nearing a return from his injury but will not be risked against the Saddlers, while a number of fringe players are expected to be given their chance.

Walsall could bring back striker Andy Cook, who missed his side’s dramatic 2-1 win over Coventry on Saturday due to suspension.

Two injury-time goals from Luke Leahy gave the Saddlers victory but boss Dean Keates could make a handful of changes against the Black Cats.

Wolves loanee Connor Johnson looks set to return to the starting line-up after returning from suspension but only making the bench against the Sky Blues.

Zeli Ismail and Josh Ginnelly are also in line for upgrades after coming off the bench to play a part in the dramatic finale at the weekend.
