By Neal WallaceManchester City defender Wayne Bridge is set for a medical at Sunderland ahead of a proposed loan move. The former Chelsea left-back, 31, has played only once for Roberto Mancini this season, in a 2-0 Carling Cup victory over Birmingham. His opportunities at the Etihad Stadium have been limited since the arrival of Aleksander Kolarov. Bridge, capped 36 times for England, was signed by now-Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes in the January transfer window of 2009. He has since had a loan spell at Championship table-toppers West Ham. Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill made a move for the experienced player after seeing his defensive resources further stretched by the loss of Wes Brown to a suspected ligament injury on Sunday (January 29th). Bridge played 151 times for Southampton before a big-money move to Chelsea in 2003.
