Cana back for Black Cats

Sunderland captain Lorik Cana could return for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League trip to struggling Hull.

The Albania international missed last weekend’s 2-1 win over Burnley with a groin injury, but is expected to be fit.

However, central defender John Mensah (hamstring) and midfielder Lee Cattermole (calf) are struggling, while Andy Reid and George McCartney (both hamstring) are out.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Carson, Hutton, Bardsley, Turner, Ferdinand, Kilgallon, Da Silva, Cana, Zenden, Richardson, Malbranque, Henderson, Campbell, Bent, Jones, Benjani, Meyler, Liddle.
