SUNDERLAND’S HOPES OF climbing up the league table have been hit with hefty suspensions being handed out to two stars.
Captain Lee Cattermole will miss 12th-placed Sunderland’s next four games after being handed a lengthy ban for his actions in yesterday’s Tyne-Wear derby.
He picked up his 10th yellow card of the season just 38 seconds into the 1-1 draw, earning him an automatic two-game ban.
Cattermole was then shown a straight red card after the final whistle for foul and abusive language, which will see the 23-year-old miss a further two matches, meaning he is ruled out of the games against Liverpool, Everton, Blackburn and QPR.
