Sunderland's battling midfielder Lee Cattermole could be back in action a month earlier than expected, according to Black Cats boss Steve Bruce.
The 21-year-old Englishman has been sidelined since October 17, when he suffered medial ligament damage during the Liverpool triumph.
Bruce told the official website of the Premier League: "Catts has been out for three weeks already, but after the Spurs game this weekend, there is another fortnight before we play Arsenal and all of a sudden, he has been out for getting on towards five or six weeks.
"And Cattermole being Cattermole, I would think he will be back more quickly than the doctors have predicted.
"The kind of person he is, I have just got this gut feeling that he might be out for eight weeks rather than the 12 weeks that was said at the start."
Bruce added: "Of course, ultimately I will have to be governed by what the medical people say, but knowing Lee's mentality, he will be keen to get back as quickly as possible."
Burgeoning prospect Jordan Henderson has been deputising next to Lorik Cana in Cattermole's absence.
