Football: O'Shea to make Sunderland debut

LONDON: Former Manchester United defender John O'Shea will make his debut for Sunderland at Swansea tomorrow as his new club tries to finish the week on a high. Boss Steve Bruce is set to name O'Shea at right-back after he spent the last five weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.  "We'll need his experience at Swansea and it'll be a big boost to the team," said Bruce. "He's someone who I know will be able to handle the situation. You can see his influence straight away after he's joined in training. It's huge. He's worked like a beast to be fair. He's been at the training ground from 9am every day. "His sheer professionalism is excellent and that's why he's been at the top for so long."
