Sunderland are preparing for their Championship fixture against West Brom – with multiple players unavailable for both sides.
The Black Cats drew 1-1 at Millwall last time out after Jack Clarke’s penalty rescued a point for the visitors.
That result means Sunderland are ninth in the Championship table, three points off a play-of place, while West Brom are five points better off in fifth.
