Sunderland's Borini out for three months
Sep 1, 2016 - 4:59 PM Sunderland forward Fabio Borini has been ruled out for around three months with a groin injury.The 25-year-old Italian, who has played twice in the Premier League this season, picked up the injury during Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

Borini joined Sunderland on a permanent deal in August last year and scored five league goals in 26 appearances as the club narrowly avoided relegation last season.
