Elliot Embleton is 'not a million miles' away from rejoining training with the rest of the Sunderland squad after his loan spell at Derby County was cut short, according to Michael Beale. But first the academy product must complete his recovery, and head coach Beale says the 24-year-old is edging closer to that objective. "He doesn't seem like he's a million miles away from rejoining the group," said Beale. I've been in nearly four weeks so probably four or five weeks before he's back with the team. He's out working in isolation with the sports science department but he's not going to be available to play any time soon."
