Ian Poveda is set for another spell on the sidelines, but Sunderland's winger depth now looks much healthier with Romaine Mundle up to speed and Tommy Watson also expected to be in the squad on Saturday. RLB also gave a small update on the progress of Enzo Le Fee and Dan Ballard.
TOMMY INVOLVED
“Tommy should be with us this weekend, yeah.”
POVEDA SETBACK
“We will have to wait for him (Poveda). I don't know exactly what the timeframe will be for his return to play, but it might be three to four weeks. It's frustrating because we know he is talented as a winger, he has the ability to dribble and create something from nothing in short spaces. So far, he wasn't available for many reasons.”
DAN/ENZO
“So far, they are on track in their recovery. Enzo should probably be available after the international break, more or less, with Dan it will be a little bit longer.”
