Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon will aim to press his claims for a return to action when he turns out for the reserves on Tuesday night.[LNB] The £9million Scotland international will play for the Black Cats' second string against Everton at Widnes having provided the back-up to Belgian Simon Mignolet for last night's 0-0 Premier League draw at Blackburn.[LNB]That was Gordon's third game as an unused substitute following his return from an arm fracture.[LNB]However, he has had to remain patient with summer signing Mignolet having proving a more than able deputy in his absence.[LNB]The 22-year-old has been ever-present in the campaign to date and has conceded only nine goals in 10 games, a run which has seen him keep clean sheets against Manchester City, Manchester United and Rovers.[LNB]
