FORMER Ipswich defender Titus Bramble will be out for at least six weeks for Sunderland with a knee injury.

The 29-year-old, who missed Monday’s 2-2 draw with Everton, faces surgery today to repair the meniscus cartilage he damaged in training.

A club statement said: “Bramble will go under the knife to repair damaged cartilage in his knee which was sustained in training recently.”

Black Cats boss Steve Bruce described the news as a “huge blow”.
