Sunderland manager Peter Reid has a string of injury problems ahead of tonight’s clash with Bolton at the Stadium of Light.
Claudio Reyna and Joachim Bjorklund are both out with hamstring injuries and join Emerson Thome and Gavin McCann (both knee), Julio Arca (groin) and Paul Thirlwell (ankle) on the sidelines.
The one plus is Patrick Mboma who should be fit for the game, despite picking up a knock in the defeat to Spurs at the weekend. Mboma got his first goal for the Black Cats’ in the game, and impressed a great deal.
