(Reuters) - Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has said there is a chance defender Emmanuel Eboue could still get back into the squad but only if the Ivorian can get his one-year ban lifted in the next few days.

Eboue, who has yet to play for the Premier League club since joining three weeks ago, is set have his contract with Sunderland cancelled after football's governing body FIFA imposed a ban on the Ivorian for failing to pay his former agent.
