SUNDERLAND TEAM UPDATE
Head coach Regis Le Bris has dismissed speculation regarding Nordi Mukiele’s fitness for the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Luke O’Nien has made a recovery from the shoulder injury he sustained in last season’s playoff final and is expected to return to the bench after appearing as a substitute in the recent 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Romaine Mundle will remain sidelined for the next six weeks due to a hamstring injury, joining teammates Dennis Cirkin, Leo Hjelde, and Aji Alese on the injury list.
On a positive note, Sunderland’s recent signings have quickly adapted and made a significant impact, although Mozambique full-back Reinildo will miss out due to suspension.
