Sunderland boss Poyet says Scocco will see Cup action

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says January signing Ignacio Scocco will see FA Cup action against Southampton.

Scocco, signed from Brazilian outfit Internacional last month, hasn't played competitive football since November and Poyet admits he isn't match-fit.

"Nacho won't be 100 per cent so it will be difficult for him but he plays because this is the best way of getting him fit as soon as possible," he said.
