Although the EFL have confirmed that they will return to their pre-COVID-19 position on streaming games this season.

That means Sunderland fans in the UK will not be able to stream games that take place between 2:45 and 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon.

Only fans overseas will be able to stream those games, provided that they have not been selected for international television broadcast in a territory that has an overseas broadcast partner.

However, the EFL have also confirmed that clubs will be able to offer a streaming service to UK supporters for any games that take place outside of that Saturday window.

Lee Johnson admitted he was left to regret his decision to bring Luke O'Nien on as a late substitute in Sunderland's 2-1 Papa John's Trophy win over Lincoln City.

Eager to see out the game and secure a deserved victory for the youthful side who had impressed at the LNER Stadium, Johnson brought O'Nien on in an unusual striking role.

His cameo lasted barely five minutes, the midfielder left in considerable pain after taking a blow to the ribs in a challenge.

O'Nien will go for a scan on Wednesday with the Black Cats head coach admitting the 26-year-old was in 'a lot of pain'.
