Bruce won't risk Richardson

Sunderland's Kieran Richardson remains a major doubt for Saturday's clash with Aston Villa, after experiencing another injury setback.
The full-back, who has not played since 21st September, was expected to be fit for the weekend's round of fixtures, however he has since suffered a minor recurrence of the injury.
Manager Steve Bruce confirmed the setback, whilst admitting he is not prepared to risk Richardson.
"Kieran's probably 50-50 for Saturday, I would say," Bruce said.
"He had trained for four or five days, but then had a setback and I don't like taking chances on players who might not be quite ready."
