Ross Stewart could be involved in Sunderland's weekend game at Hull City - with Tony Mowbray hoping the striker will be ready to make his long-awaited comeback. Stewart has been out of action since the end of August due to a thigh injury but recently returned to training, although he was left out of the squad for Monday's home defeat against West Brom as a precaution after he felt some discomfort following a practice game last week.
But the Scotland international has trained today and, provided there he feels fine tomorrow, he will travel with the squad to Hull for Saturday's game. "You get wary of saying what's going to happen because I said yes last week [when asked if Stewart would be involved against West Brom] when I was asked about Ross on the back of him having played for 60 minutes [in the practice game]," said Mowbray.
"But he's had a full training session today. It was quite an intense training session in the snow. Fingers crossed there’s no reaction tomorrow, and then he will hopefully travel with us. Let's see if we can get him included.
