Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher has been ruled out for
up to six weeks with a shoulder injury.
The Scotland international dislocated his shoulder during
last Saturday's 3-0 Premier League defeat at West Brom, and there were concerns
that he could be sidelined for several months.
However, interim head coach Kevin Ball revealed on Friday
afternoon that the latest prognosis is much more positive.
Ball said: "The news is better than we expected.
Hopefully, it will be four to six weeks, which is great news."
Former Hibernian forward Fletcher, who was the Black
Cats' top scorer with 11 goals last season, missed the end of last season and
the start of the current campaign after undergoing ankle surgery.
