Campbell set to miss majority of next season
This season, Sunderland have been forced to come to terms with more than their fair share of injury blows and general disappointments, but the latest injury blow at the club is arguably the most genuinely disappointing yet for all involved.
Steve Bruce, the man who has done well to lead his team through the trials and tribulations of the tricky league season despite all of their high-profile and extremely unfortunate injury problems, has been told that talented frontman Fraizer Campbell may have to sit out the majority of next season as he attempts to make a full recovery from a knee operation scheduled for this week.
Campbell, who signed for the club almost two years ago, was an instant hit upon arrival at Sunderland, the forward moving from Manchester United in the summer of 2009, but damaged his cruciate ligament in August 2010 and has failed to make a full recovery since then, with a twisted knee further hindering his attempt to make a successful comeback earlier this month.
Campbell should still have a bright future in the game, even if he is forced to miss most of the action next season in the league, with the Sunderland man still only 23 years of age and already well on his way to proving his quality at the top level after scoring seven goals for the Black Cats.
However, that said, the question now must be asked as to how the Sunderland manager will inspire his squad throughout the rest of the campaign, with the club’s injury list now a truly depressing sight. With Danny Welbeck, an on loan striker from Manchester United, suffering badly from a hamstring injury, and with crucial defender Titus Bramble informed that he won’t be able to return to the first team before the current season ends, these are surely troubling times indeed for Sunderland fans.
Sunderland fans will keep faith in a manager who has worked wonders with the club but Bruce will certainly be feeling the heat, there’s no doubting that.
