Bruce looks at own role in Meyler’s latest injury

SUNDERLAND boss Steve Bruce says the news is encouraging for Irishman David Meyler after his knee injury on Wednesday, but the manager is questioning his own selection of the player so soon after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.

“The really great news we got late last night was that Meyler hasn’t ruptured the cruciate ligament, it’s still intact which is great news for us,” said Bruce.

“He’s wrenched the knee horribly so we’ll know more in the near future in terms of time schedules. As we speak he’s with the surgeon who performed the operation on him last year. the repair he had is intact.
