Sunderland are preparing for their Championship fixture against Swansea – with multiple players still sidelined with injuries for both sides.
The Black Cats got back to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Norwich last time out, a result which moved them up to eighth in the table.
Swansea are four points behind Sunderland following a 1-0 win at Blackburn last weekend and are 13th going into the match.
