Gordon missing for Black Cats

Sunderland are still without £9m record signing Craig Gordon for their home Premier League game against Everton on Sunday.

The Scotland goalkeeper has a knee injury which could rule him out of the remainder of the season.

Nyron Nosworthy (hamstring) will not play again this season, while Northern Ireland defender George McCartney has a calf injury as the Black Cats look to bounce back from last weekend’s shattering 3-0 Premier League loss at bottom club West Brom.

Team (from): Fulop, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Davenport, Collins, Edwards, Richardson, Tainio, Reid, Cisse, Jones, Malbranque, Whitehead, Leadbitter, Healy, Ben-Haim, Colback, Colgan.
