Sunderland's Adam Johnson to miss Fulham FA Cup tie

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson will miss the FA Cup tie against Fulham following surgery on a thumb problem.

By Liam Apicella, Features Editor | 03 February 2015

Adam Johnson has confirmed that he will play no part in Sunderland's fourth-round FA Cup replay away at Fulham this evening.

The former England international has undergone minor surgery on a thumb complaint and he will not feature at Craven Cottage to decrease the risk of infection.

"Unfortunately I won't be there. I'm getting an operation on my thumb. I'll be missing this one," he told the Sunderland Journal.

"I just have to get it done, it's not a serious thing, but I need the wound to heel. It's the risk of infection that's keeping me out."

It has been speculated that the 27-year-old could return to action in time for Saturday's Premier League clash against Swansea City.
