The EFL confirmed today that it would take a three-week break, and fans of the Black Cats had plenty to say on social media.

Indeed, many hoped the news could mean a return for centre back Bailey Wright – who was set to miss the remainder of the campaign.

Here’s what they were saying on social media:

@clarkysafc88 said: “There's hope for a Bailey Wright comeback yet.”

@mstores joked: “Well the postponement does mean that Sunlun won't ruin my weekend (again)”

@EGR4Y asked: “Does this mean we could still end up getting bailey wright fit for a few games then? Just a thought”

@Liam9517 commented: “It’s going to be weird not having any football till the 3rd of April due to the coronavirus but it’s probably for the best as people life’s are more important”

@themightygsr7 tweeted: “This suspension will do more good than harm for #SAFC. Teams like Coventry and Fleetwood will be hard done by due to momentum and form. Almost like we're restarting the season on April 4th.”

@MarattyJosh said: “Could Bailey Wright be back before the end of the season now?”

@sadpanda212 added: “With the expected Southend postponement, @SunderlandAFC were only playing 1 game between now and the 4th of April anyway. So for us, very little changes. Hell, the weather might be better when we play Blackpool in June”
