Sunderland’s dismal season was given another kick in the teeth yesterday as Jan Kirchhoff has been ruled out for at least six weeks!
The German giant was carried off the pitch on Saturday’s game against West Brom, which resulted in Sunderland’s second point of the season.
Kirchhoff looks to be out until at least November, with a hamstring injury in which he has a long history of the same problem.
He has a list of injury problems which has kept the talented midfielder out of reaching his very best throughout his career.
