Sunderland received a setback before their Premier League match against Crystal Palace as midfielder Enzo Le Fée was ruled out due to injury. The Frenchman, who was a key player in Sunderland’s recent games, was unavailable for the match at Selhurst Park. In his absence, Simon Adingra and Wilson Isidor were brought into the starting lineup.
Despite Le Fée’s absence, Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris expressed confidence in the team’s depth and options. He praised the players’ performances and highlighted the competitive nature of the Premier League. The team lineup remained mostly unchanged from their previous victory over Brentford, with players like Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete, Granit Xhaka, and Habib Diarra maintaining their roles.
Le Bris also provided an injury update on the squad, mentioning that Dan Ballard should be fit for the upcoming game against Aston Villa. He also discussed the recovery process of other injured players and highlighted the versatile nature of new signing Lutsharel Geertruida, emphasizing his potential impact in various positions.
Sunderland will now have to cope without Le Fée in the short term, hoping for a speedy recovery for the influential midfielder. Le Fée has been a crucial player for Sunderland, contributing significantly to the team’s success last season and making an impact in the Premier League since his debut. His absence will be felt, but the team will look to adapt and continue their strong performances in the top flight.
