Sunderland caretaker coach Kevin Ball expects Steven Fletcher to be back after the international week.

Fletcher is on target for a comeback from a shoulder injury after the international break.

Ball said: "He is running now. It was a sore one. They said four to six weeks and he might be aiming for the back end of the international break, and that would be fantastic news if he was."
