Sunderland's Aiden McGeady may not play again this season, admits Alex Neil

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.
