Sunderland v Newcastle: Bellamy cleared to play!

Whilst we reported good news, with Bellamy able to play, there is also some bad news regarding the Sunderland clash.
£9M Jonathan Woodgate is struggling with a hamstring injury following Newcastle 1 - 1 Aston Villa.
"Jonathan has a slight knee injury which we have been aware of for the last two weeks," said Robson.
"He has been playing slightly hampered but at Villa he had the beginning of a slight hamstring strain. Now it remains to be seen whether he will be fit for Saturday."
However, Robson has admitted he is "pessimistic" about the chances of French winger Laurent Robert recovering in time from his knee injury.
