Is there any team news ahead of Bolton Wanderers vs Sunderland?

Luke O’Nien is also out with a shoulder injury whilst Jordan Willis and Aiden McGeady are out.

However, Lee Johnson has said that he is now 'very confident' that Nathan Broadhead will play again for Sunderland this season.

Broadhead suffered a serious hamstring injury at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter final in December 2021, but when it was deemed surgery was not required the Black Cats were left hopeful that his lay-off would be around three months, rather than the rest of the season.

Johnson says dialogue with Everton has left him increasingly confident that will be the case.

"He's being doing his rehab at Everton and we're in regular dialogue with them," Johnson said.

"It's just best-case scenario at the moment, and I can't give you a definitive timeframe on that.

"But they are very happy with his progress which is obviously great for us to hear.

"I'm confident he will now play for us again before the end of the season and I'm very, very happy about that."

Johnson also said he hopes that Luke O'Nien and Aiden McGeady are both on track in their recoveries from shoulder and knee problems respectively.

Both have been out on the grass at the Academy of Light this week.

Niall Huggins is another long-term absentee who Sunderland expect to feature again this season.
