Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone out for three months

Vito Mannone has been ruled out for three months with an elbow injury, but Sunderland are after a replacement and midfielder Vicente Iborra.

Sunderland boss David Moyes has ruled out goalkeeper Vito Mannone for three months with an elbow injury.

The 28-year-old was sent for a scan after hurting his arm during training and was found to have sustained ligament damage.

"Vito has torn ligaments in his elbow and we're waiting to see whether it will require surgery," Moyes said on Friday, before adding that the former Arsenal man would miss "a minimum of three months".
