The Black Cats enjoyed a free Saturday last week after their game with Oxford United was postponed but were in action on Wednesday in the Papa John’s Trophy.

A youthful Sunderland team defeated Manchester United U21s 2-1 with Lee Johnson’s first-team set for a return to league action away to Gillingham on Saturday afternoon.

Earlier in the week, it was announced that Elliot Embleton has signed a new deal at the Stadium of Light until 2025, whilst a full injury update has been provided ahead of the trip south.
