Kristjaan Speakman has explained why we have recalled Jack Diamond, Josh Hawkes and Anthony Patterson from their loans at Harrogate Town, Tranmere Rovers and Notts County after 'several' positive cases of COVID-19 in our squad…

"We are in an incredibly fortunate position to have this calibre of player to call upon and all three have previously represented Sunderland at first-team level this season. We are making every effort to fulfil our fixture schedule throughout what remains an incredibly challenging period and we would like to thank the EFL for the flexibility shown in unique circumstances and Notts County, Harrogate Town and Tranmere Rovers for their support and understanding throughout this process."
