Richardson returns for Black Cats

23 October 2009 10:05
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will welcome back Kieran Richardson after suspension for the trip to Birmingham.

Richardson missed the 1-0 victory over Liverpool after being sent off at Manchester United.

Lee Cattermole is out with a knee ligament injury and John Mensah (calf) is also sidelined.

But Kenwyne Jones, who was carried off with a twisted ankle on Saturday, is expected to be fit as are Bolo Zenden (hip) and Andy Reid (calf).
