Sunderland are waiting on the results of tests on goalkeeper Lee Burge after he suffered a heart issue, supposedly linked to his recent positive Covid test. Defender Jake Vokins had a similar issue last season, testing positive in March and failing to recover before the end of the season.
TESTS
"Lee Burge has had to undergo some heart tests."
HEART PALPITATIONS
"He had Covid and on the back of that he has had some heart palpitations. I think we're due to get the results back this evening from his blood test."
THINK HE'S ALRIGHT
"I think he's alright, but it was the right thing to do from the point of view of the medical staff just to check that one out."
DOMINO EFFECT
"Obviously we hope he [Burge] is alright, but of course that has a domino effect on Anthony Patterson's situation."
