Sunderland midfielder Luke O'Nien has been ruled out for at least three months as he requires shoulder surgery.

The versatile 27-year-old has scored three goals in 22 appearances for the Black Cats this season.

Earlier this week winger Aiden McGeady was ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee injury.

"It looks like Luke will be out for a sustained period of time, which is really disappointing," manager Lee Johnson told the club website.
