Both players are out of the squad for the upcoming tournament. Fletch was always going to be out till the end of July anyway, so its no suprise. Just hope he can get a few games in before Fulham.
SUNDERLAND SQUAD: Mannone, Pickford, Westwood, Brown, Cuellar, Diakite, Roberge, O’Shea, Ba, Cabral, Colback, Gardner, Johnson, Larsson, McClean, Moberg Karlsson, N’Diaye, Vaughan, Altidore, Graham, Ji, Mandron, Sessegnon, Wickham.
Its a 25 man squad so if Peruzzi, Giaccherini and Mavrias join up with them, then 3 players will get dropped. I reckon Mcclean & Wickham could be the first two names considering they never played the friendly the other day.
hopefully fletch can get some game time and hes lot weeks behind with fitnedd come the start of the season. first game against fulham i would love to see him and jozy terrorising fulhams defence
Need Fletch back sooner rather than later, a must that we have fit strikers and hopefully we,ll sign another on TBH can,t see where Catts is going to fit in, even when he,s fit he,s a liability spending as much time either pussyfooting around because he got a daft booking or time out for suspensions, only his engine for me gets him anywhere near the team, not a distributor, will never chip in with goa 3_1-4-2 &he could maybe be the midfield sweeper in front of a back 3
i think catts gets a bad deal from refs. he gets a lot of his cards through reputation and is not a dirty player like many think. i would keep him tbh, we are better with him in the team and in a natural leader in the middle of the park
It's 25 of a certain age though isn't it? Not sure if Wickham is old enough to count in the 25 named?
