The Ukraine lad, Temur Tutierov (:emoticon-0103-cool:) was on the bench in that original tweet for the Shields game.
 
I wouldnt be surprised if rigg starts alongside neil and bellingham and pritchard as the front 2
Rigg was on that first bench for the Shields game as well mate, missed it off tbe screenshot. But I assume with the tweet being pulled it will be anyone's guess who lines up for us in either game.

Will any of tomorrow’s games be streamed?
I doubt it.
Well, not on TV.

This is from the club website:

Social media coverage will be active via our official pages on Twitter @SunderlandAFC, and Instagram @sunderlandafcofficial.

Streaming information will also be released in due course.

EDIT:
The Club has been advised that the broadcasting infrastructure in place at both stadiums could lead to challenges in relation to connectivity.

Therefore, we have taken the decision that both fixtures will be available to view free of charge for supporters tuning in from Wearside and beyond.

We hope this allows as many fans as possible to view our return to action this weekend and if technical difficulties are experienced, we apologise in advance and appreciate your understanding.

Shame if they don't have a camera there. They stream some of the lasses games and u21s from Eppleton with only one camera angle so they must be able to set something up, especially at Gateshead where its hosted international Athletics so the infrastructure should be there.
 
South Shields FC v Sunderland AFC– Saturday 8th
July 2023 - KO 12:30


Sunderland have 4 new recruits in Seelt, Triantis, Bellingham and Hemir (Semedo). Michut, Amad and Gelhardt returned to their parent clubs and Dajaku, Wright and Winchester have been released.
Sunderland’s players are into their second week of pre-season, although a number of players will not be involved in this weekend’s games.
Aji Alese, Dennis Cirkin, Corry Evans, Elliot Embleton and Ross Stewart are all unavailable because of injury, along with new signing Jenson Seelt, who is struggling with an ankle issue. Nectarios Triantis and Trai Hume have both been given time off after their international involvement.
After playing in this weekend’s games, Mowbray’s squad will head to the United States for a whistlestop three-game tour that will feature matches against San Antonio, New Mexico United and North Carolina.

Tony Mowbray:

“For our first competitive fixtures, we’ve got two on the same day against South Shields and Gateshead, and we’ll just mix the teams up,” confirmed Mowbray, who is set to select new signings Jobe Bellingham and Luis Semedo for the first time.
“For us, it’s about the fitness really.
“The local teams will want to do well, and there’ll be crowds in, so we will mix the teams up so there’ll be some pretty inexperienced footballers playing alongside some players who will have had lots of football last year. But it’s mainly about getting 90 minutes into their legs.
“The staff will watch both games, because of the timings – one’s late morning and one’s late afternoon – we’ll watch both games. It’s really to get the minutes into the lads’ legs and help the local teams to get their seasons ready in front of a crowd too.”
