Events in Abidjan and Addis Ababa, if not those in Durban, will, unusually, have a bearing on the latest episode of an intensely parochial rivalry. Sunderland's key forward, Stephane Sessègnon, was delayed in Paris on Friday after missing a connection to Newcastle following Benin's international in Ethiopia but Cheik Tioté made his way back from a similar engagement with Ivory Coast. While Alan Pardew's key midfield enforcer may be tired, Newcastle's Senegal strikers, Papiss Cissé and Demba Ba, were significantly excused international duty in South Africa. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/mar/02/squad-sheets-newcastle-united-sunderland
