?Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole has called on his teammates to “show pride”, as they attempt to pull off a near-miraculous escape from relegation.<\/p>\n

The Black Cats are eight points from safety after Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat against Leicester, without a win in five games.<\/p>\n

Cattermole has admitted the situation is growing ever more bleak, but pointed towards Sunday’s game against Manchester United as a chance to prove the club’s doubters wrong.<\/p>\n

“It looks very tough but you don’t become a footballer by shying away from things,” Cattermole said after the loss at Leicester, via\u00a0?the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

“Everyone has that drive, we need to look forward to Sunday, get ourselves going and show how much we care about the position we’re in.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got another game on Sunday, we have to show some pride, stand up and find out what we’re all about.<\/p>\n

“We can’t make any excuses, I thought we were bang at it and we played well at the champions. We felt we were the better team but we’re walking away with nothing.”<\/inline><\/p>\n


?Cattermole made his first start since September against Leicester, and only his fourth appearance of the season after a hip injury.

He added: “I felt fine, I’ve felt great in the last couple of weeks. It’s tough coming back in the position we’re in but I’ll rise to it and give my best.”<\/p>\n

Sunderland have recorded just five wins all season, and now have just eight games remaining to pull of a seemingly impossible escape.<\/p>\n
