Sunderland boss Paolo di Canio insists he won't freeze out his available players after the summer transfer deadline.
It was significant that both Vaughan and Cattermole were given shirt numbers when the club announced its official Premier League squad at the end of last week.
Di Canio said: "I don't expect many more players to leave before the transfer deadline.
"Maybe one, maybe two - that was in the plan - but not many. We will see.
"But if that does not happen, it is not an issue as they are part of the club.
"We will do everything we can to make them fit in with the others and give them a part [to play] because we need to use everybody.
"I don't have any preconceived ideas."
