Cana could return for Tigers battle

Sunderland captain Lorik Cana could return for Saturday's Premier League trip to the KC Stadium to take on struggling Hull City. The Albania international missed last weekend's 2-1 win over Burnley with a groin injury, but is expected to be fit. However, central defender John Mensah (hamstring) and midfielder Lee Cattermole (calf) are struggling, while Andy Reid and George McCartney (both hamstring) are out. Cats (from): Gordon, Carson, Hutton, Bardsley, Turner, Ferdinand, Kilgallon, Da Silva, Cana, Zenden, Richardson, Malbranque, Henderson, Campbell, Bent, Jones, Benjani, Meyler, Liddle.
