Cristian Riveros<\/a> has been told he is still part of Steve Bruce\u2019s<\/a> plans at the Stadium of Light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Riveros was signed by Bruce last summer from Mexican side Cruz Azul, after an impressive World Cup campaign with Paraguay.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I haven’t given up on him, not at all, We know he is a good player – we saw that at the World Cup when Paraguay got through to the quarter-finals,\u201d Bruce told the Sunday Sun<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: “But I know from past experience that Latin American players take time to settle in when they move to England. He’s been here a year and hopefully he will have come to terms with the different style of football by the time the season starts.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve always said that you have to give Latin American players time to settle in.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I was at Wigan, I didn’t play Figueroa for a year when he first arrived at the club. I just let him have that time to settle in and become accustomed to life in this country. At one stage it was touch-and-go with Figueroa but he proved he could adapt.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Newcastle had a similar situation with Fabricio Coloccini. He struggled when he first went to Newcastle, but last season he was one of their best players.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The midfielder struggled to make a serious impact for Sunderland last season making just five starts in the Premier League, but Bruce has promised the 28-year-old he will be patient with him, hoping that the Paraguayan can repay next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
