00:00So I think it's fair to surmise that we'll be without Ballard probably until the middle
00:04of January, the latter stages of January. So it's a shame, isn't it? Because Ballard's
00:10obviously been, we know that he's in Sunderland's best 11. He is such a brilliant defender,
00:14but he's having a bit of a stop-start season and he just can't seem to quite get a long
00:18run of runs together. The shame about this is the timing after two goals, obviously his
00:22confidence was really up. So yeah, I think realistically, he's not going to play any
00:27part over the sort of New Year fixtures.
