Tony Mowbray says Sunderland have a couple of minor injury concerns but expects to take an unchanged squad to Preston as the Black Cats look to secure a play-off spot on the final day of the Championship season. Mowbray said 'one or two' players sat out training today, but he feels they will be ready by the time Sunderland take on Preston at Deepdale on Monday.
But he confirmed that, as expected, Dan Ballard will definitely play no part in the game as he continues to recover from a hamstring issue that has sidelined him since the end of March. "Ballard won't be affecting this game, but I hope there's nothing else [in terms of injuries]," he said.
"I hope there's nothing [more]. There were one or two not training today for different reasons.
