Sunderland’s Romaine Mundle has suffered an injury setback during the team’s training camp in Portugal, adding to the club’s growing list of injury concerns.
The young winger, who impressed last season as Sunderland secured promotion, will now undergo treatment for the undisclosed injury. It is expected that Mundle will be sidelined for a period of time, with further updates on his condition to follow in the coming days.
Mundle’s absence will be felt in the upcoming matches against Sevilla and Sporting Lisbon, as the 22-year-old has become a key player in Sunderland’s plans. Despite interest from clubs in Europe, including PSV Eindhoven, Sunderland is keen to secure Mundle’s future with a new contract extension.
Meanwhile, Sunderland scored a significant transfer breakthrough with the imminent signing of forward Armand Laurienté from Sassuolo. The 26-year-old, who can operate on the left wing or as a central striker, is set to undergo a medical over the weekend before signing a five-year deal.
Laurienté’s arrival is seen as a major boost for Sunderland, as they look to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming Premier League campaign. With his proven goal-scoring record and experience in top-tier leagues, Laurienté is expected to make a significant impact at his new club.
