Chris Makin has been given the good news that he will not need an operation. Makin saw a specialist yesterday about his latest injury, a hip problem, but was advised that time will heal the injury.

The ex-Sunderland player said: "Fortunately I don't need surgery, which is good news.

"I will have to take it easy getting back into training as each time I seem to be right something happens again, so it is a case of seeing how it goes."
