One of Sunderland’s key players is expected to make a comeback from an injury in the upcoming weeks.
After a 1-1 draw with Bristol City, Regis Le Bris’ team will be eager to get back to winning ways at the Stadium of Light as they prepare for their home matchup against Norwich City.
Although facing the leading scorers in the Championship will be challenging, Sunderland’s damage is anticipated to allow them to take advantage of the Canaries’ rather exposed defence.
Even though the Black Cats are still vying for promotion, injuries have undoubtedly limited their season’s potential. Romaine Mundle and Tommy Watson are among the most recent players to miss time due to injury.
There have also been some midfield injuries, and although the team has yet to see one deadline-day acquisition, Le Bris has stated that he is getting closer to making his much awaited Black Cats debut.
Salis Abdul Samed’s return date for Sunderland is confirmed by Regis Le Bris.
Salis Abdul Samed, a holding midfielder, was loaned to Sunderland in the summer, but because of injury problems, he hasn’t played a minute in red and white.
He is expected to rejoin the team shortly, though, as Le Bris estimated at his pregame news conference when he should be back on the field: “We’re hoping he’s almost ready to start training again.For four to five months, he was absent.
“He is presently doing well. By the end of December, he ought to return.
Although his recuperation seems to have gone more quickly than anticipated, it was originally anticipated that he would return as late as January.
When Salis Abdul Samed returns, the Sunderland midfield will be completely transformed.
This season, the Black Cats have been strong in the middle of the pitch, although they have occasionally struggled because of their squad’s lack of depth.
In terms of choices in the holding midfield position, Samed will undoubtedly give Le Bris a much-needed lift, and the 24-year-old’s experience may prove invaluable.
It is evident that he could completely change this midfield by sitting further back and adding stability, allowing Black Cats midfielder Dan Neil to roam a little further forward. He has already earned 19 caps for Ghana at his age and played six times in the Champions League with RC Lens, helping his team win against Arsenal.
