Reid returns from loan spell to go into Sunderland FA Cup squad

Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid will go straight into the Sunderland squad along with Jack Colback for tomorrow’s FA Cup third round clash with Notts County after being recalled from loan.

Reid and Colback are back on Wearside following spells with Sheffield United and Ipswich respectively, and both will be in contention with Reid having completed a three-match ban by sitting out the Blades’ fixtures against Burnley and Doncaster and the Black Cats’ midweek trip to Aston Villa.
