The Black Cats' manager has made two changes to the starting XI which beat Scunthorpe on Sunday, with Reece James and Donald Love replacing Adam Matthews and Oviedo in the full-back positions.

Oviedo hasn't been included in the 18-man squad for the game at the Priestfield Stadium, amid speculation of a move away.

Here's how fans reacted on social media.

@MJJ93__: Hope Oviedo is just injured and isn’t gan anywhere like, been a breath of fresh air so far.
