Ross Stewart could be involved in Sunderland's weekend game against Millwall - but boss Tony Mowbray admits it would be a 'gamble' and will not make a final decision until after tomorrow's training session. Scotland international striker Stewart has been out of action with a thigh injury since the end of August but has made a good recovery and travelled out with the Sunderland squad last week for their warm-weather training camp in Dubai during the World Cup break.
The Black Cats' five-goal top scorer then took part in his first full training session today, which is another major step in the right direction. But Mowbray must now decide whether to involve him on Saturday lunchtime at the Stadium of Light, almost certainly by naming him amongst the subs, or to give him a full week's training and target West Brom's visit to Wearside a week on Monday.
"Ross Stewart mixed it up a bit over there [in Dubai], training a bit on his own and a bit with the team," Mowbray said. "He did the warm-ups, the passing drills, and a bit of possession, but he didn't really get involved in the high-intensity stuff.
