Everton prospect Nathan Broadhead is facing a battle to return for Sunderland's crucial play-off semi-final first leg.
The striker has played a key role in the Black Cats' promotion bid, scoring five goals in April as he helped his loan club secure a play-off berth. Two of those goals were stoppage time winners and he scored the only goal against Morecambe on Saturday in a game Sunderland needed to win to be sure their season was kept alive.
Broadhead was then taken off after picking up a knock that has left him in doubt for the play-off first leg against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night.
