Sunderland are looking to bounce back from a disappointing run of defeats against Bournemouth

Sunderland and Régis Le Bris have been left with a number of major injury worries ahead of their trip to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

While Andoni Iraola and the hosts have a significantly smaller injury list, there are still some key absentees. Here’s all the team news as we have it from both camps..

1. Nordi Mukiele – out

Le Bris confirmed that the influential defender was facing between a fortnight and a month on the sidelines with a calf issue. Likely to be replaced in the XI by either Lutsharel Geertruida or Luke O’Nien.

2. Reinildo – out

The influential left back has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out for around three weeks – with Sunderland hopeful that he’ll be back in time for the Newcastle United game.

3. Brian Brobbey – out

Has sustained a groin injury and will be out for two weeks to a month.

4. Bertrand Traore – available

The winger returned to training this week and could have some involvement this weekend.

5. Lewis Cook – doubt

Midfielder missed the 0-0 draw with West Ham due to a hamstring injury.

6. Romaine Mundle – out

Picked up a hamstring injury in the latter stages of the Fulham defeat. Sunderland are assessing whether surgery is required but he is facing a spell on the sidelines either way.
