Alex Pritchard is back in full training and will be fit for Friday's game against Hull City, according to Tony Mowbray. The midfielder played 75 minutes of Sunderland's draw at Burnley last weekend, but was a notable absentee when the club staged an open training session in front of more than 3,000 fans at the Stadium of Light on Monday.
Mowbray explained today that Pritchard has been suffering with a muscle problem but he has now resumed training and will be ready to face the Tigers on Wearside. "Pritch is a little bit on and off with a few niggling little things," said Mowbay.
"He trained fully today, did the whole session, but he didn't train the other day because he was feeling a bit tight and there was no need to take any risk because we've got some big games coming up in the next four days or so. We'll manage that situation, but he is going to be available."
