Sunderland AFC news: Lee Johnson provides Nathan Broadhead and Arbenit Xhemajli updates ahead of Mansfield Town clash in FA Cup
Lee Johnson is set to face questions today following Sunderland’s three-game losing streak in League One.
The Black Cats were defeated 1-0 by managerless Charlton Athletic at the Stadium of Light last month and have since lost away from home to Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday by an aggregate score of 8-1.
Sunderland were victorious via a penalty shootout against QPR in the Carabao Cup but that has done little to ease supporters’ fears regarding their league form.
The Wearsiders’ attention now turns towards Mansfield Town in the first round proper of the FA Cup, with Nigel Clough’s side set to visit the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
And we’ll be bringing you updates from today’s press conference as Johnson faces questions from the media in our live blog:
