Jewison Bennette is set to return to the Sunderland squad ahead of tomorrow's trip to Rotherham United after missing the weekend draw against Bristol City with a minor knock. Costa Rica winger Bennette was not included on the teamsheet on Saturday, with Black Cats boss Tony Mowbray explaining today that the 18-year-old took a kick on the calf but that he has now returned to training.
Mowbray also said defender Niall Huggins was continuing his recovery from an ankle problem and Lynden Gooch trained for the first time today as he returns to fitness following a hip flexor issue, but both are not yet ready to rejoin Sunderland's Championship campaign.
"Jewison had a kick on the calf which is why he didn't make the squad [at the weekend], but he was training with us today so he'll be involved in some capacity at Rotherham," said Mowbray.
