Enzo Le Fée was seen completing running work after missing Sunderland’s pre-season win over Wrexham

Sunderland supporters have been handed an encouraging update on Enzo Le Fée after the midfielder missed the Black Cats’ pre-season victory over Wrexham.

Le Fée was left out of Régis Le Bris’s squad for the 1-0 win in Philadelphia after picking up what was described as a minor injury. His absence inevitably caused some concern, particularly with Sunderland now moving into the latter stages of their preparations for the new campaign.

However, supporter Tom Perez spotted the Frenchman completing running work on the pitch after the final whistle. Le Fée was seen jogging laps alongside a member of Sunderland’s coaching or medical staff for around 10 to 15 minutes.

The midfielder could also be seen running in the background during Robin Roefs’s post-match interview, which was later shared across Sunderland’s official social media channels.

That does not provide a definitive diagnosis or timeframe for his return, but the fact Le Fée was able to complete sustained running work represents a positive indication. It would suggest the issue is not expected to keep him sidelined for a prolonged period, although Sunderland will continue to manage his workload carefully.

Le Fée remains one of the most important players in Le Bris’s squad after an influential campaign operating in advanced midfield areas. His creativity and ability to receive the ball between the lines give Sunderland a different dimension in possession.

The Black Cats will hope he can return to full training quickly as preparations continue, with further updates expected before Sunderland’s next pre-season fixture.
