Sunderland have suspended midfielder Adam Johnson after he was arrested on suspicion of having sex with an under-age girl.
The 27-year-old England international was detained by Durham Police on Monday.
Johnson remains in custody and is helping Durham Police with their inquiries.
Johnson, who has scored two goals in 12 games for England, joined Sunderland from Manchester City in 2012.
He has found the net five times in 28 appearances for the Black Cats so far this season.
