Sunderland AFC winger Jack Clarke is set for a spell on the sidelines.

The 23-year-old sustained an ankle ligament injury during the Club’s trip to Birmingham City and he subsequently missed last weekend’s fixture against Swansea City.

Further assessments of the injury have now been completed, with the winger expected to be out of action for up to six weeks.

The Club’s leading scorer with 15 goals and four assists, Clarke will now undergo a period of rehabilitation before an anticipated return to training in April.

Could turn out to be a blessing in disguise ...

... and I can't see a way it can be used as another reason to attack the club.

No attack from me. We have had rotten luck with injuries again this season. Not many clubs would cope missing players of the quality and influence of Huggins, Alese, Cirkin, Evans, Embo, Clarke & Roberts.

What I don't understand (unless he had injures) is how little he played for the u21s. He should be playing as much football as possible to get him up to speed for the 1st team. The loan to Greece is an utterly bizarre one, especially when he's still trying to learn English and adapt to loving over here...

The loan baffled me, turned down hibs which imo would have been ideal for him

Dreadful luck with injuries. All seem to be players with that little bit of experience.
Next few weeks are going to be difficult. No doubt there will be a few lining up to have a go at KLD and Speakman.
But we still have a talented group of young lads and they need our support.
Big summer coming up

Yeah. Strange he was minimum couple of weeks and still getting assessed. But Dodds said these ciams were sensationalised. Clearly they were not, even conservative.

Class player and will leave in the summer. Have to hope one of the other lads steps up. That said, given our transfer record in last few windows and the zero impact that 15 out of 18 have made thus far, ill probably be waiting a while.

What a blow. Gutted the way the season is playing out.

Reckon we might have seen the last of him in our shirt. Be a risk to play him last couple of games if he has a chance of a big money move. Unless of course we are still in with a shout, which without Clarke is even more unlikely. Double whammy.
