Blacks Cats defensive duo out
Sunderland will begin a lengthy spell without defenders Titus Bramble and Michael Turner at Wolves.
Bramble underwent surgery on a damaged knee cartilage on Thursday and is facing at least six weeks on the sidelines, while Turner could be out for three months with a knee ligament injury.
John Mensah is set to partner Anton Ferdinand in central defence despite still recovering from a dislocated shoulder, while striker Asamoah Gyan has returned to training after missing Monday night's 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw with Everton because of a thigh strain.
David Meyler (knee) is working his way back towards full match fitness, but Fraizer Campbell (also knee) is still out.
