Sunderland boss Paolo di Canio is non-committal over Lee Cattermole's future.
The Sun says Cattermole is set to be shown the Sunderland exit door by boss Di Canio.
The ex-Black Cats skipper, 25, has not been given his regular No 6 shirt for the new campaign.
Asked if he had a future, Di Canio said: "We'll see."
