The Sunderland attack has been formidable, with Wilson Isidor, Romaine Mundle, and Patrick Roberts all making significant contributions. With Mayenda’s return, Le Bris must navigate a potential selection dilemma. Mayenda had a strong start to the season before his injury, and his presence could add another dimension to the team’s attacking options.

However, Le Bris must carefully consider when to reintegrate Mayenda into the squad. Rushing him back too soon could be risky, especially with players like Aaron Connolly gaining valuable minutes and confidence on the pitch. While Mayenda’s talents are undeniable, it may be wise for Le Bris to exercise caution and wait for the perfect moment to bring him back into the fold.
