Sunderland are still waiting to assess Danny Batth's injury after their skipper limped off towards the end of last night's draw against Huddersfield Town. Centre-back Batth injured himself in a challenge with Jaheim Headley in the dying minutes, but he could not see the game out and was substituted with Joe Anderson coming on in his place.
Batth has started 39 of Sunderland's 43 league games this season and has been an influential member of Tony Mowbray's side as they have challenged for a play-off place. In the immediate aftermath of last night's game, Mowbray said he did not yet know the extent of the defender's injury, admitting: "I don't know, to be honest.
"I've had a chat with him but he was sitting there with a bit of ice on him. We'll see tomorrow. We're in on Wednesday, everyone will be assessed and we'll see what the team is looking like to prepare for the weekend against West Brom."
