Toivonen injury concerns Allardyce

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce told the club website that forward Ola Toivonen aggravated a groin injury sustained during the international break: “Ola did the same groin he did on international duty which is a bit of a concern. It’s more of a concern when it’s a reoccurring injury – how’s it happened, why’s it happened and does it lie somewhere else – so the medical staff have to oversee that and get these lads fit as quickly as possible.”
