After last night’s win over Port Vale in the Papa John’s Trophy, Lee Johnson will now turn his focus back to strengthening Sunderland’s squad.
The Black Cats are back in league action at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday and are keen to strengthen their squad during the winter transfer window.
Manager Lee Johnson held his pre-match press conference earlier today, and there was plenty on the agenda including injuries, contracts and the takeover situation.
It was confirmed that defender Denver Hume is facing an additional six to eight weeks out with a hamstring injury, a setback which could alter the Black Cats’ activity during the transfer window.
