New Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat could recall Adam Johnson for the derby with Newcastle United.
Sunderland banned Johnson, 27, pending the outcome of a police investigation after he was arrested on March 2 on suspicion of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
On Tuesday Johnson's bail was extended by five weeks until April 23.
The club said in a statement: "Following the decision by the police, the club will be reviewing its position."
