Sunderland star to feature at Liverpool

Bramble was questioned by police over a rape allegation earlier this weeek.

Bruce said: “The one thing Titus wants to do is play football. He is a resilient so-and-so and wants the matter cleared up.

“We are right behind him because it is unfortunate what has happened and there is bad publicity and bad press which no one wants. But he’s adamant he hasn’t done anything wrong.

“If anything upset me it was him being on a night out when he shouldn’t have been. I don’t think footballers should be out on a Tuesday before a Saturday game.”
