Sunderland winger Adnan Januzaj's injury recovery is ahead of schedule.

The on-loan Manchester United winger was originally ruled out for six weeks until mid-November with an ankle injury but Moyes has revealed he is making good progress.

No timescale has been put on his exact return but manager David Moyes hopes to be able to call upon the 21-year-old sooner rather than later.

“Adnan is feeling much better and he doesn't think he will be out as long as we initially thought," said Moyes.

“Hopefully, we can get him back sooner.

“We played QPR the other week in the EFL Cup and we had everybody fit, aside from Seb Larsson and Vito Mannone.

“The other players were OK then but suddenly we are into the last couple of games and lost four or five players.

“We will get the injured players back, though."
