The Northern Ireland international centre-back was substituted 18 minutes from the end of United's 2-2 Champions League home draw against Porto on Tuesday night and manager Sir Alex Ferguson, is is also expected to be without groin injury victim Rio Ferdinand, does not expect Evans to be fit for the game against The Black Cats on Saturday.

"Rio was nowhere near being fit for this [Porto] match, so it is difficult to see him being fit for Saturday.

"Jonny should be OK in a week but he is a 21-year-old lad and this is what happens when you play two big games in three days."
