Jack Colback admits he is looking forward to having Sunderland's midfield stars back in action next week.

Lee Cattermole and Stephane Sessegnon will both be back from suspension by the time the FA Cup quarter-final replay against Everton comes around next Tuesday and 22-year old Colback, who is likely to make way, is ok with the team getting two key players back.

"There are no mixed feelings for me, it will be good to have those lads coming back," he told the Evening Chronicle.

"They are two big players for us.

"For all the central midfielders this season, it has been a bit in and out at times because there is a lot of competition for places.

"That is only good for the club and it shows when we do have a few injuries or suspensions we have players who can step in."
