Sunderland forward Nazariy Rusyn has returned to training after missing the side’s last three matches with a calf issue.
The 25-year-old sustained the injury during last month’s match at Southampton, meaning he was sidelined for games against QPR, Cardiff and Blackburn. Rusyn was expected to be unavailable for a longer period of time but has trained alongside Sunderland’s first-team squad ahead of Saturday’s match against Bristol City.
