McClean in contention for Black Cats return

Sunderland winger James McClean will be in contention for a derby return against Newcastle on Sunday after shaking off a groin injury.
The 23-year-old was ruled out of the Republic of Ireland’s 6-1 defeat by Germany with a groin problem, but manager Martin O’Neill has revealed he could have been available for Tuesday’s trip to the Faroe Islands if required.
