Cattermole doubtful for Clarets date

Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley. The 22-year-old damaged a calf in last weekend's 1-0 defeat at West Ham, the latest in a depressing catalogue of injuries which has interrupted his first season at the Stadium of Light.Manager Steve Bruce will assess the former Middlesbrough and Wigan player before finalising his team, but will not risk him if he is not fully fit.Bruce told the club's official website, www.safc.com: "Lee picked up a calf injury against West Ham and wasn't sure whether it was a kick or a strain."He hasn't trained all week. We will see how he is, but with the season nearly finished, the last thing I'm going to do is throw him in if he isn't ready."However, John Mensah, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem, and skipper Lorik Cana, who has sat out the last two with a groin injury, could return after resuming training today.
