Amad will sit out Sunderland's home game against Sheffield United but Alex Pritchard is expected to play a part, Tony Mowbray has confirmed. The duo missed the Black Cats' weekend 1-0 win at Norwich City, with on-loan Manchester United forward Amad suffering a hamstring injury in training last week while Pritchard had also picked up a minor knock.
Mowbray said after the game at Carrow Road that there was a chance they could be involved against the Blades tomorrow night, but if they did not make that game then they could be ready to return against Luton Town at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. Amad has been working with the medical staff but is still not 100 percent, and Mowbray will not risk him against Sheffield United although he is hopeful he will be fit to face the Hatters.
"I haven't seen Amad today, he's been with the medical department," said Mowbray. "He was on the grass yesterday doing a little bit of training with the medical department, but he still had an awareness and a feeling [of the injury] so I've told him to forget about the game tomorrow.
