Squad news for Sunderland

Last updated : 29 January 2002 By Reggie Holdsworth
Ugo Ehiogu, Alen Boksic, Szilard Nemeth and Mark Wilson are all injured, while Colin Cooper will be missing after the tragic events on Saturday.

Hopefully Steve McClaren will start with the formation that started the second half against Man. United.

That means there will be a place for Festa who will come in for Cooper, with Gareth Southgate and Jason Gavin also starting at the back.

In midfield Paul Ince will probably return for Mark Wilson who limped off with a thigh injury on Saturday, and I would expect Noel Whelan and Dean Windass to continue upfront.

Andy Campbell will probably have to settle for a place on the bench with Stamp, Carlos Marinelli and Allan Johnston, although if McClaren decides to play a flat back four it's anyones guess who he would put in midfield.
