Sunderland’s £6.5million playmaker Emanuele Giaccherini will miss the rest of the season. The former Juventus man has managed just four starts in an injury-ravaged campaign and suffered a recurrence of an ankle problem during the FA Cup win at Fulham earlier this month. And after seeing a specialist this week it is now almost certain that 29-year-old Giaccherini will not be seen again until next season. Sunderland midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini will miss the rest of the season through injury . Black Cats boss Gus Poyet said: ‘Emanuele is going to be out for a while. ‘It is incredible that he had a big injury after the Burnley game (in September) and it took him a while to come back. Then when you think everything is good he had another knock in the same area on the same bone and now it is going to take a little bit longer. ‘He is practically going to be out right until the end of the season which is unfortunate for us, but we wish him well and I want to see a full recovery - not a quick one - so that we can count on him next year. ‘Let’s say that it is a season to forget for Giaccherini, so we just need to make sure he feels perfect for next season.’ The Italy international has managed just four starts for the Black Cats this season .
