What’s the latest Sunderland injury news?
The Black Cats are short on central defensive options with Aji Alese and Dan Ballard both currently out injured. Summer signing Ian Poveda was forced off just ten minutes after his introduction in the latter stages of the game against Derby County with a muscle problem.
The former Leeds United man had only returned to the squad on Saturday after a thigh injury, though the exact prognosis is not yet known. After the game, Le Bris said he didn’t expect Poveda to be involved later this week against the Whites.
The Black Cats were, however, handed an injury boost ahead of the clash with Alan Browne fit enough to make the bench. Indeed, the midfielder came on in the second half for Chris Rigg to see the game out against Derby.
What’s the latest Leeds United injury news?
Leeds United will travel to Wearside without their influential holding midfielder Ethan Ampadu after he sustained a knee ligament injury in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Coventry City.
