Cristian Riveros and Marcos Angeleri are both expected to quit the Stadium of Light. The South American duo have failed to secure a regular first team starting berth, and manager Martin O'Neill has confirmed that both would probably be looking to leave in the summer.
“Marcos has just come back [from injury] and he’s done a couple of days’ training with us,” said O’Neill.<br />
“Over the last couple of weeks he has been out doing work with the physios on the training pitch, and in the last few days he has joined in training.<br />
“But I heard talk while he was recuperating that he probably wanted to go back home again. I haven’t sat down and spoken to him yet – there was little point until he got fit.<br />
“As for Riveros, he has been out on loan this season and I often wonder whether it was the club that wanted that.<br />
“There is a meeting with his agent here in the near future and I’ll see what happens there.<br />
“Sometimes players feel that maybe a change of environment is what they want, and if that’s the case then we will look at it in that manner.”
