Régis Le Bris has some big selection calls to make on Saturday as Sunderland travel to face Coventry City in a crucial Premier League game.
The Sunderland head coach has a couple of important injury concerns which will have a big say on his final calls. Here, we make our best guess as to how he’ll go both from the start and with his bench...

2. RB - Trai Hume

3. CB - Nordi Mukiele
Little doubt that Mukiele starts if available but Le Bris admitted on Thursday that he remains a doubt after picking up that throat injury last weekend. Would be a real blow for Sunderland who simply haven't been able to maintain any consistency in this position so far this season. The positive is that Omar Alderete has looked back close to his best in the last game or two and should be ready to step in if required. | Sunderland Echo, Chris Fryatt
4. CB - Luke O'Nien
O'Nien has been in excellent form of late and after a top showing against Leeds last weekend he seems likely to continue here. | Chris Fryatt
