USA striker Altidore will recover for Sunderland campaign

Striker Jozy Altidore is expected to be fit for the new Premier League season, says Sunderland boss Gus Poyet. The United States player, 24, damaged a hamstring in their opening World Cup game against Ghana and played no further part in the tournament.

Poyet said: "I am sure, if nothing goes wrong, when Jozy is back with us for pre-season, he is going to be fit to start training without any problems."
