Sunderland winger Andy Reid has stepped up his recovery from calf surgery.

The Black Cats have confirmed that Reid has resumed running in the latest stage of his rehabilitation.

The 27-year-old missed the last three months of the season with a troublesome calf injury but is now aiming to be fully fit for the start of pre-season training.

A series of niggling injuries restricted the Republic of Ireland international to just 20 Premier League appearances last season and he did not feature after the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth on 9th February.

Goalkeeper Craig Gordon is also making steady progress on the road to recovery after having a metal plate removed from his arm.

The Scotland international fractured his arm against Tottenham last November and returned to action in January after having the plate inserted.
