The game, initially set to be played on Saturday, January 9, has been postponed after a COVID-19 outbreak in the Cod Army’s ranks.

It is the fifth Sunderland game to be postponed in the last month, after the Black Cats’ clashes with Shrewsbury Town, Blackpool, Hull City and Accrington Stanley were all put on hold after an outbreak at the Academy of Light.

But Sunderland’s game with Northampton Town this weekend is still set to go ahead.
