Lee Cattermole joined Sunderland from Wigan in 2009

Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole will be out for at least four months following surgery on his hip.

The 28-year-old, who has only made two Premier League appearances for the Black Cats this season, went to the USA for an operation on a torn cartilage.

He last featured in a 3-2 defeat by Crystal Palace on 24 September.

Manager David Moyes said midfielders Jan Kirchhoff and Jack Rodwell, and forward Fabio Borini will also miss the visit of Hull City on Saturday.
