Sunderland manager Roy Keane has pledged the club's full backing to striker Michael Chopra as he "deals with some personal problems".

The Daily Mirror reported on Thursday that the £5million 24-year-old former Newcastle and Cardiff player had been checked into the Sporting Chance clinic.

Keane said: "We are helping Michael as he deals with some personal issues and he has the full support of everyone at the club. We would ask that his privacy, and that of his family, is respected at this time and the club will not be commenting further on this matter."
