O'Neill not putting pressure on Sunderland returnee Campbell

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill will not place any unneeded pressure on returning striker Fraizer Campbell.

The 24-year old has not played a competitive match since August 2010 because of two serious knee injuries but is on the verge of first team action.

However, O'Neill has indicated that he won't rush Campbell and is not expecting him to make an enormous impact in a hurry.

"It is nice, but he has been out a fairly lengthy time, so we won't expect miracles at this moment," he said.

"Just to get him fit and stay fit would be good news for us, and anything he does after that would be wonderful."
