Cats reeling after double injury blow

SUNDERLAND boss Roy Keane’s hopes of getting his side’s Premier League campaign back on track have been hit by a double injury blow.

The Black Cats face Reading on Saturday desperate to end a run of four successive defeats which included an embarrassing Carling Cup exit to Luton.

Keane must now plan without two key players after it was revealed yesterday that Kieran Richardson could be sidelined for up to three months with a stress fracture of the back. And to compound matters, fellow winger Carlos Edwards will also be out of action for several more weeks after suffering a second hamstring tear to the one which forced him to sit out those four defeats.
