Sunderland forward Fabio Borini will be out for three months with a groin injury that he picked up in the Black Cats' 1-1 draw with Southampton.

The Italian tore a ligament in his groin as Sunderland picked up their one and only point of the season.

Borini will be out for three months and Sunderland fans will not see the striker until December.

This means that Jermaine Defoe and Duncan Whatmore are the only recognised strikers at Sunderland.
