Aiden McGeady's knee injury may rule him out for the remainder of the season, according to Alex Neil. The Sunderland boss has not entirely written off McGeady's chances of playing a part in the run-in, but for the first time he has admitted that there is a 'question mark' over the 35-year-old's involvement.
McGeady has not featured since suffering a medial collateral ligament injury after coming off the bench in Sunderland's 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury Town back in November. The injury was expected to rule him out for around three months but Neil said recently the former Celtic man had got into a 'cycle' where would begin to join in training only to suffer a setback.
With less than a month remaining of the League One campaign, time is running out for McGeady - who is out of contract in the summer - to return to full fitness and then get up to speed. "At the moment, there's a question mark about whether Aiden will be able to feature between now and the end of the season," said Neil.
