Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray has no qualms over changing a winning team as Corry Evans returns

Tony Mowbray insists he will have no qualms about changing a winning team if he feels it necessary, with skipper Corry Evans available for tonight's trip to Blackburn Rovers. Evans missed Sunderland's weekend win against Wigan Athletic due to suspension after accumulating five yellow cards.

But the experienced Northern Ireland international is back in the squad to travel to Ewood Park, where both he and Mowbray are set to come up against their former club. The decision Mowbray must make is whether to bring the influential midfielder straight back into his starting XI, or stick with the players who performed so well against the Latics.

Mowbray was giving little away when he spoke to the media yesterday, but he hinted that he has no problem with making changes to a winning side, saying the needs of the team must come above those of any individual. "As the injuries start to come, there will be a big decision every week for us," said Mowbray.
