The Black Cats will be without top scorer Ross Stewart for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury, while captain Corry Evans has also been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
Aji Alese, Dennis Cirkin and Alex Pritchard are doubts for the Millwall match with less serious injuries, while Luke O’Nien is suspended.
New signing Joe Gelhardt is expected to make his debut after joining the club on loan from Leeds United last week.

Was replaced at half-time against Fulham last time out after a lack of training following an injury setback. Should be better prepared for this weekend's fixture. Photo: Frank Reid
With Sunderland captain Corry Evans absent in recent weeks and now set to miss the rest of the season, Neil, still only 21, has produced some excellent performances at the start of 2023. Photo: Martin Swinney
Evans’ injury means the PSG loanee, 19, could get a run of games following a frustrating start to his Sunderland career. We have seen signs of Michut’s ability in recent weeks. Photo: Frank Reid
