Steven Fletcher available for Sunderland against Leicester City

By , Rugby Editor
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet reveals that Steven Fletcher is fit to play against Leicester after recovering from an ankle injury.

Sunderland have confirmed that striker Steven Fletcher is fit to face Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 27-year-old recently suffered an ankle injury during Scotland's 1-0 win over Republic of Ireland in Euro 2016 qualifying.

Fletcher was a doubt for the Black Cats' trip to the King Power Stadium this weekend, but manager Gus Poyet is "100% sure" that the forward will feature.

"Steven is okay. It was not nice at all watching the game and seeing Fletch coming off," he told the club's official website. "Naturally as human beings we always think the worst, but we got in contact straight away with him and the Scottish medical staff, who were very good.

"They sent him back to us and we have done everything possible, so I will say I am 100% sure he will play on Saturday."

Fletcher has scored four goals in nine games for Sunderland this season.
