Sunderland star Danny Welbeck has been injured and will be out for a few weeks due to hamstring injury. The 20-year-old forward, on loan from league leaders Manchester United, suffered the injury during the midweek match against Aston Tottenham.

Welbeck, who has scored six goals this season, could now miss four or five games, according to Sunderland.

The club also announced that Phil Bardsley did not rupture his cruciate ligament again in the same game.
