Frenchman set for U21 action at Eppleton.
Sunderland will be without Jordi Gomez and Yann M'Vila when they travel to Leicester City on Saturday.
Spaniard Gomez is continuing his rehabilitation from a knee injury which ruled him out of the end of last season, with M'Vila likely to build on his fitness when the club's U21s take on Norwich City on Sunday (KO 2pm @ Eppleton CW).
Speaking to safc.com Dick Advocaat confirmed the absentees, whilst also explaining what the French international will bring to the club.
“Yann is a player who has been involved in French football and he is very talented.
“He is just 25 and did not do too much in the last two years in Russia after moving for a lot of money, but he has 22 caps for the national team and he knows Sunderland will give him a chance to do well."
He added: “He’s a quick-thinker on the pitch and a quick passer which is what we need, but he isn’t fit for tomorrow and will maybe start for the U21s on Sunday.
“Jordi has also been out for a long time but everybody else it fit.”
If we are prepared to wait for this mans fitness then FER must of been realy not ready ???????
