The Norwich City boss has also revealed why Gabriel Sara missed training earlier in the week.

He added: “Gabby was ill and didn't train Monday or Tuesday but has been in since then.

"Jonny Rowe is also in training, he will take a little bit longer. So will Sam (Byram), I see him every day, he's working hard but I don't want to put a timeframe on it."

Sunderland are looking to get back to winning ways after a poor run of defeats.
