Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon is to visit a specialist in Sweden next week over his troublesome knee injury. The £9 million man has struggled since returning early from Scotland duty last month with the problem.
Black Cats boss Steve Bruce said: "Craig Gordon is not 100 per cent fit, I have to report that. He's going to see a specialist on Monday."
Bruce added: "He came back from Scotland with a knee injury and it has been niggling away at him. He's away to see a specialist in Sweden on Monday and we will see how he is."
