Tony Mowbray is 'hopeful' that Ellis Simms will be able to line up against Watford tomorrow - even though a scan on his toe injury came came back with an inconclusive result. On-loan Everton striker Simms travelled from Sunderland's temporary Berkshire training base into central London yesterday for a scan to check whether he had broken his big toe in Wednesday's win at Reading.
The scan gave no definitive answer, but Mowbray says Simms will be involved in some light training today before a decision is taken over his availability for tomorrow's game at Vicarage Road. "He went into central London and had a scan," said Mowbray.
"It was a little bit inconclusive - it's his big toe. It's really player management on that, it's about how he feels when he's out on the grass.
