What’s the latest team news ahead of Sunderland vs Blackburn Rovers?

Ross Stewart returned to Sunderland’s squad for the game against Hull City and came off the bench to put the Black Cats ahead before the Tigers equalised.

The Scottish international striker is expected to be fit for the game against Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day.

Like Stewart, Dan Ballard also came off the bench against Hull City to replace Danny Batth, who picked up an early injury.

Speaking after the game against Hull City, Mowbray said: "It's very, very rare that you have your whole squad fit and available. Danny Batth felt his calf. Whether it is a tear, I'm not sure, but he felt a sharp pain in his calf as he pushed off and he had to come off.”

Sunderland have confirmed that Elliot Embleton has suffered a fractured ankle and significant ligament damage which will require surgery.

Mowbray recently said on Edouard Michut: “He hasn’t played for four, five, six weeks. But he has trained and some fitness work but he feels he is ready having not kicked a ball. I’m trying to explain to him that it’s hard to come in not having kicked a ball in the Championship.

“His talent is obvious. He’s a good footballer. A lad who was training with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe but he needs to train every day in my mind.”
