Tony Mowbray is hopeful that Lynden Gooch will be fit to return against Burnley this weekend after sitting out Sunderland's midweek defeat at Blackburn. Gooch went off at half-time in last Saturday's home win against Wigan after suffering a foot injury.
He missed the trip to Ewood Park on Tuesday and has yet to resume training, but Mowbray says Gooch is set to join in with the group again tomorrow and if he comes through that without any discomfort then he should be ready to line up against Burnley on Wearside. "I think Lynden has got a chance," said Mowbray.
"The hope is that he puts his boots on tomorrow and comes out to train. I think if Lynden has half-a-chance of playing, he will want to play.
