Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is excited by the potential of teenage winger Jordan Henderson.

And Bruce is quick to add that, while Henderson has caught the eye over the last few weeks, there are others who are also impressing, including striker Martyn Waghorn and midfielder Jack Colback. He said: "We have a crop of a very good kids and Jordan is one of them. I would have played Jack Colback instead of Jordan against Atlético Madrid but he picked up a slight groin strain.

"We like Colback as well. There's four or five of them who have given themselves a wonderful chance.

"The one thing 18-year-olds do give you is huge energy and to be fair, Jordan has put himself right in the window to be in consideration to play in the first game in the Premier League."
