Sunderland have a near-clean bill of health going into this weekend's League One play-off final, according to Alex Neil. The Black Cats take on Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley on Saturday, with a place in the Championship at stake.
And Sunderland boss Neil will have close to a full-strength squad to choose from, barring one or two long-term injuries who were ruled out for the remainder of the season months ago. Versatile defender Carl Winchester has been pictured in training this week after recovering from the groin problem he suffered a month ago, and Neil confirmed this morning that he could come into contention for the game.
Neil said: "We've got a clean bill of health, probably for the first time. People we didn't expect, like Winnie [Winchester], are available, too."
