Former Celtic winger Patrick Roberts was sent to play for Sunderland's reserve side on Monday evening - and was hooked after an hour of their 3-0 defeat to Stoke.
Roberts has struggled to find a home since his loan stint at Parkhead under Brendan Rodgers, spending time on loan at five more clubs before he left Manchester City permanently in January.
The one-time £7m man was allowed to leave City following an ill-fated stint at Troyes in France and was given the chance to rebuild his career at Sunderland.
