Record signing on bench for Sunderland

Sunderland’s record signing Asamoah Gyan has to be content with a place on the bench at Wigan this afternoon.

Gyan, a £13m-plus recruit from Rennes on transfer deadline day, will have to wait for his full debut with Danny Welbeck coming into the starting line-up in place of Fraizer Campbell, who sustained cruciate ligament damage in the victory over Manchester City.
