PREM: Sunderland v Swansea City preview
Sunderland midfielder George Honeyman is out of Saturday's Premier League clash with Swansea after damaging his back in training.
The 22-year-old was hurt when defender Lamine Kone fell on him and he will not be involved against the Swans.
Skipper Lee Cattermole (Achilles), fellow midfielder Darron Gibson (groin) and full-back Bryan Oviedo (hamstring), have all closing in on returns, although the game is likely to come too soon for Oviedo.
Swansea are set to be unchanged.
Wayne Routledge could return to the matchday squad after hernia surgery but is unlikely to start.
Angel Rangel is also back in training after breaking a bone in his foot in mid-March, while Jefferson Montero (hamstring) and Nathan Dyer (Achilles) remain out.
