Mensah ready for Hammers test

04 December 2010 13:30
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will be able to call on defender John Mensah for Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham at the Stadium of Light. The Ghanaian returned ahead of schedule from a dislocated shoulder at Wolves last week but was forced off eight minutes from time after receiving a blow to the joint. Mensah's availability is particularly good news for Bruce because of long-term injuries to centre-back pair Titus Bramble and Michael Turner (both knee). Fraizer Campbell also remains on the sidelines but midfielder David Meyler is in contention for the first time this season after recovering from a serious knee injury.
