Andy Reid is on the Crocked listed

Winger Andy Reid is out of the team once again with an Achilles injury, he will be staying at home to get physio treatment, while the rest of the team head off to train in Portugal.

The Irishman was hit with a series of injuries since moving to Sunderland, missing out mainly due to a calf problem. 

The injury comes as a blow it was hoped Reid would be refreshed and injury free after such a long break.
