Andy Reid has welcomed the return to full fitness of Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole.

Cattermole - signed from Wigan for £6m in the summer - hadn't played since injuring knee ligaments against Liverpool on October 17.

"It's great to see Lee back," Reid told safc.com.

"He did really well when he came on and he brings something different to us.

"He's not afraid to get on the ball and we're delighted to have him back."
