O'Neill ready to hand Bridge immediate start against Norwich

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 11:00

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is pleased with their capture of Manchester City fullback Wayne Bridge.

O’Neill has no qualms about Bridge’s fitness and is likely to hand him the left-back berth against Norwich City with ­Kieran Richardson pushed into midfield.

“I’m hoping that with Wayne’s undoubted experience and ­ability, he can be a big help to the team until the end of the season,” said O’Neill.

“I’m very pleased to have him here and with the number of injuries we’ve sustained ­recently, I’m sure he’ll be a great help to us.”
