Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has been included in Dick Advocaat's matchday squad for tomorrow's match against Southampton, despite recently being charged with child sex offences.

The 27-year-old was not named in the 18-man squad for the Black Cats' 1-1 draw with Stoke City last weekend, but the Englishman has now returned to the fold.

Last Thursday, Johnson was charged with three offences of alleged sexual activity with a child under 16, and one offence of grooming.

Johnson will appear before Peterlee Magistrates' Court on May 20.
