Denver Hume: Sunderland left-back ruled out until new year with hamstring strain

Sunderland left-back Denver Hume has been ruled out of action until the new year with a hamstring strain.

New manager Lee Johnson confirmed the 24-year-old is unlikely to feature again for up to four weeks.

Hume has made 16 appearances for Sunderland in all competitions this season, including scoring in a Papa John's Trophy victory against Carlisle.

Striker Charlie Wyke is expected to make a return for the second round tie at Oldham Athletic on Tuesday after missing the Wigan match with a knock.
