Sunderland defender Jordan Willis could face another year on the sidelines after suffering a setback in his recovery from a major knee injury.

Willis was initially ruled out for six months in February after rupturing his patella tendon early in the 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury Town.

That tendon had been causing him issues for a lengthy period of time and he had managed it through much of the first 18 months of his time at the club.

The 26-year-old has undergone further surgery on Wednesday, which will rule him out for nine to twelve months.
