Sunderland have been handed a boost ahead of their midweek clash with Huddersfield Town after it was revealed the Terriers will be without regular starter Ollie Turton. The right-back suffered ankle ligament damage in Huddersfield's recent 1-0 win over Millwall on Saturday, and will be out of action for several months.
Given Huddersfield boss Mark Fotheringham's desire to shore up the Terriers defence since his arrival, the news comes as a bitter blow.
Alongside Turton, the Terriers will also be without winger Sorba Thomas, who has been ruled out of the midweek clash due to suspension.
