Sunderland defender Nyron Nosworthy has all but ruled himself out for the remaining two games of the season.
The Black Cats could use all the help they can get as they look to stave off the threat of relegation but the 28-year-old centre-back is still labouring with a hamstring injury he originally sustained in January.
“I’ve learnt that you never say never in football, so I wouldn’t rule it out completely. But the priority has to be ensuring that I get myself properly fit,” Nosworthy told the club's official site.
“It wouldn’t be good for anybody if I came back into the team too soon and got injured again. I’ve been working really hard to get myself right and I’ll talk everything over with the manager, but it looks as though the games are running out.
“I’m devastated not to be playing. Being injured is the worst thing and so frustrating. I’m desperate to get out there and play my part and help the rest of the team. But if it’s not to be, I have to do all I can off the field.
“That means turning up for work with a smile on my face, even if I have been injured. It’s no good moping around the place, particularly when there’s so much at stake and I’ll be doing my best to keep the boys bubbly," he added.
“We all know it’s been a difficult season, but we’re all confident we can get over the finishing line. We’ve worked so hard as a club to get into The Premier League and then stay there.”
The Mackems Sunderland are just two points clear of Newcastle United and Hull City going into their final two games against Portsmouth and Chelsea.
