The Black Cats remain within touching distance of the play-offs with three Championship fixtures remaining, despite a frustrating 1-1 draw against Huddersfield.
Sunderland still have several injury concerns ahead of the match, with Dan Ballard, Ross Stewart, Aji Alese, Corry Evans, Elliot Embleton and Jewison Bennette all set to miss the fixture.
Edouard Michut also missed the Huddersfield match with a minor back issue, while Danny Batth was forced off in the closing stages and is set to miss the rest of the season with a knee issue.
