DUNCAN Watmore makes his return to Sunderland’s first team for their FA Cup replay with Walsall.
After being sidelined by two separate cruciate knee ligament injuries, the attacker made a comeback for the club in two recent Under-21 games.
And tonight he faces the Saddlers, as part of a front three, paired with Chris Maguire and Jerome Sinclair.
