What’s new with injuries at Sunderland?
Since Dan Ballard and Aji Alese are both sidelined with injuries, the Black Cats are lacking in center defensive options. Due to a muscle issue, summer acquisition Ian Poveda had to leave the game against Derby County just ten minutes after coming on.
After suffering a thigh injury, the former Leeds United player had only joined the team again on Saturday; however, the precise prognosis is yet unknown. Le Bris stated during the game that he didn’t think Poveda would play against the Whites later this week.
Alan Browne, who was healthy enough to start on the bench, gave the Black Cats an advantage in terms of injuries before to the match. In fact, the midfielder replaced Chris Rigg to finish the match against Derby in the second half.
Ethan Ampadu, Leeds United’s key holding midfield player, suffered a knee ligament damage during the team’s 3-0 victory over Coventry City on Saturday. As a result, he will not be traveling to Wearside.
