Boss Russell Martin has revealed two more players have been added to his injury list, though he hasn’t yet revealed their identity and admits they have a ‘few’ injury concerns ahead of the game.

MK Dons are already without Regan Poole and Daniel Harvie on international duty with George Williams, Joe Mason and Kieran Agard already out through injury.

Martin told the MK Citizen: “I wish it was just one or two, we've got a few.

"With Danny and Regan being away too it makes things more difficult, which is frustrating. Two of the guys who'd go there would probably start the game. It will be tough.

"We've had to manage the squad recently, but we won't have everyone available.

"We'll have a strong squad but there will be a few youngsters in the squad too. We have to monitor people and make sure when they're back, we don't lose them straight away. We'll be without a fair few players this weekend.

"There's no long-term worries on any of them. They're mostly knocks and things that have generally caught up with people so hopefully none of them will be out for too long."

Sunderland head into the game on the back of the 2-1 Papa John’s Trophy defeat away at Fleetwood Town.

Sunderland return to Fleetwood in League One later this month, a new date has been set for the game, now set to take place Friday 27 November at 7.45pm.
