McCartney back for the Black Cats

GEORGE McCartney completed his quick recovery from a hamstring strain to replace the injured Lee Cattermole in the Sunderland side for today's trip to Burnley. McCartney's return was boss Steve Bruce's only change to the side who continued their fine start to the new season with a 4-1 win over Hull last time out. Clarets boss Owen Coyle kept faith in the side thrashed 4-0 at Liverpool last time out, with skipper Steven Caldwell still ruled out with a groin injury.
