Alex Pritchard is expected to be back in the squad tomorrow as Sunderland go into the final week of their League One campaign with a place in the play-offs at stake. The Black Cats take on Cambridge United at the Stadium of Light tomorrow, with another home game against promotion-chasing Rotherham on Tuesday, followed by a last-day trip to relegation-threatened Morecambe.
But Alex Neil expects to have key man Pritchard available again, having sat out the last three games with a calf problem. "Alex is a lot closer than he had been," said Neil.
"He just missed out on the last game [at Plymouth on Monday], and I'd imagine he will feature tomorrow. We've also got a few bumps and bruises that we need to assess between now and tomorrow."
