Mowbray admitted he expected the 30-year-old to leave Sunderland this summer, yet Pritchard has stayed on Wearside and could still play a big part this season. Photo: Frank Reid
Dack joined Sunderland on a free transfer after leaving Blackburn in May. Mowbray will hope the 29-year-old can rediscover the form he showed for Rovers before his ACL injuries. Photo: Frank Reid
Sunderland signed the Chelsea striker on loan in January. The 20-year-old predominantly played for The Blues under-21s side last season and has also made 16 League One appearances on loan at Charlton. Photo: Clive Rose
