NIGERIAN international, Victor Anichebe will not be
making his much awaited debut for Sunderland this weekend after failing to
recover from a thigh strain.
Sunderland manager David Moyes on Friday confirmed that
the former Everton forward will not be risked in the Premier League clash against
Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Shortly after the closure of the transfer window,
Anichebe moved to the Stadium of Light on a free after his release from West
Bromwich Albion but he must wait to make his Black Cats bow after suffering the
injury in training.
"It would be good to get Victor ready but I don't
want to rush him. He has a slight thigh strain so we're being protective. It is
not stopping him running or cycling but stopping him striking the ball at this
moment," Moyes said in a press conference ahead of Sunday clash.
Sunderland are yet to win in the Premier League this
season, while they have only scored three goals from their opening four
fixtures.
