Sunderland’s League One rivals suffer injury blow

Peterborough keeper Christy Pym has been ruled for the rest of the season.

What Sunderland-linked Gwion Edwards said about contract and transfer rumours

The Welshman, who has been linked with a move to Sunderland, was recently asked about his future, given that his contract is set to expire at Ipswich Town in the summer.

Edwards has also been linked with a move to Preston North End

He told the East Anglian Daily Times: "I've always been playing for my future, so me being out of contract is obviously in the back of my mind, but it's not something I'm worried about.

"Obviously I'm curious to see where I'm going to be next season, it would be nice to know, but it's not bothering me too much.

"I'm sure, like with others in the team, they'll sit down with us at the end of the season and decide our futures then.

"I'm not really expecting them (conversations about his future). Obviously there's been a change in manager, which is a big process for the club, and we're trying to get into the play-offs, so I'm not sure that would be the first thing in mind at the minute - there's quite a few of us out of contract, so I think they'll review it at the end of the season.

"I don't really tend to look into stuff like that, or know if there's interest in me.

"There was no thought of leaving in January or anything like that."

“It’s been quite quiet this week in terms of injuries, which has been a little strange. We’ve got nothing new to report in terms of new injuries,” Neil Critchley said, speaking this morning ahead of Saturday’s game against Lincoln City.

“As for the existing injuries, Kevin Stewart is out of his boot so we’re hopeful he can get back out on the grass in the next few days and we can start to progress him.

“Gary Madine is going for an update scan on Friday, so fingers crossed we get some good news and we can start to push him forward."
