Sunderland striker Campbell suffers new knee setback

Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell has suffered a setback in his bid to return from knee surgery.

Campbell, who has not made a first-team appearance for the Black Cats since August, had been expected to feature in the squad for the defeat at Manchester City, but was ruled out after suffering a late setback.

Bruce said: "Fraizer Campbell twisted his knee yesterday in training and he will have a scan.

"We are keeping our fingers crossed that it is not a recurrence of the knee injury that he had in August.''
