WICKHAM RECALLED BY SUNDERLAND

Striker loan spell comes to an end...

Sunderland have recalled striker Connor Wickham from his loan spell at Elland Road.

The England Under-21 international returns to the north east just one month into his loan spell with the club.

Connor made his United debut at Queens Park Rangers at the start of March and has made five appearances.

United manager Brian McDermott said: "We're disappointed to lose Connor, but I'd like to thank Gus for allowing him to come here. He has done extremely well for us, and we wish him well for the future."

Wickham’s departure means the boss will be forced into making at least one change to his side for Tuesday’s trip to Bournemouth.
