SUNDERLAND midfielder Lee Cattermole should face Premier League leaders Manchester United tomorrow after returning to match fitness.
The 21-year-old was withdrawn at half-time during Sunday's 5-2 victory over Wolves having trained for just one day in the previous two-and-a-half weeks because of a heel injury.
Central defender John Mensah is struggling with a calf problem, but full-back Phil Bardsley, who was sent home with a virus at the weekend, has recovered.
Provisional squad: Gordon, Fulop, Bardsley, McCartney, Ferdinand, Turner, Nosworthy, Da Silva, Mensah, Cana, Cattermole, Richardson, Reid, Malbranque, Henderson, Bent, Jones, Campbell, Murphy, Healy.
