Sunderland were beaten 2-1 by Fleetwood Town yesterday.
Sunderland lost 2-1 to Fleetwood Town yesterday, which means that they have officially missed out on automatic promotion.
The Black Cats were short of their best at Fleetwood, with Will Grigg given a start up-front.
But Ross has admitted that Wyke would have started the contest if he could have proven himself fit.
“Charlie was injured, he got a dead leg Saturday,” Ross said.
“It wasn’t precautionary, he would have been involved if fit but he wasn’t
“I will see how he is for Saturday.”
Wyke has been in solid form for Sunderland of late, scoring three times in his last six outings.
Grigg, on the other hand, has struggled – and his performance last night would have done little to convince Ross that he should be starting more regularly.
Sunderland’s final game of the season comes against relegation threatened Southend United on Saturday, before they enter the play offs.
