Sunderland youngster Ethan Robson has urged caretaker boss Robbie Stockdale to pick him against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Sunderland Echo.

Sunderland wrap their season up with a match against the champions this season, with the pressure now off.

The Black Cats’ relegation to League One has been confirmed, and plans are already underway for next season.

However, Robson is eager to play in the contest, as he believes it will help his development.

He said: “Fingers crossed I’m involved, because I love being out on the pitch.

“I feel like the game (against Wolves) would be good for me, and it would be good to end the season on a high and, knowing what’s happened, we’d like to put a performance on for the fans.”

Robson has played 10 matches for Sunderland’s senior side this season, but his importance to the team could be heightened next term.
