Ex-Sunderland goalkeeper Marton Fulop cleared to return to football after tumour

Former Sunderland and Ipswich Town goalkeeper Marton Fulop has been cleared to return to football after suffering from a tumour in his arm.

The 30-year-old announced that he was taking a break from the game in June after having surgery to remove the tumour.

Since then, the shot-stopper has undergone post-operative treatment, but Sunderland have confirmed on their official website that Fulop is now fit to return to playing.

The Hungary international became a free agent in the summer following a stint at Greek club Asteras Tripoli.
