The absence of Alan Browne due to a knee injury has presented an opportunity for other players in the Sunderland squad to step up. In light of this, Régis Le Bris is contemplating the return of Adil Aouchiche and Abdoullah Ba to the team for the upcoming match. Despite rumors of potential transfers swirling around them during the summer transfer window, both players have showcased their commitment to the club by returning to full training and impressing the manager with their dedication and performance.
Le Bris has openly discussed the potential recall of Aouchiche and Ba, as well as Milan, emphasizing the trust he has in them as valuable members of the team until the next transfer window. He commended their professionalism in re-engaging with the club’s project and their positive contributions in training sessions, signaling a promising opportunity for them to showcase their talents on the field.
The manager’s optimism has been further bolstered by the news of Dan Ballard’s fitness for the upcoming match against Middlesbrough, following concerns about his injury sustained in the previous game against Plymouth Argyle. Ballard’s return provides a much-needed boost to the squad and enhances the competitiveness within the team as they prepare for the upcoming challenges ahead.
