Sunderland defender Patrick van Aanholt’s smoking habits might have just cost him a place in the side.


The 25-year-old, who was spotted smoking a pipe in Newcastle with a friend on August 9, was withdrawn by manager David Moyes from the side against Tottenham Hotspur over concerns about his heart last Sunday.
