Jenson Seelt will play his first competitive football in ten months at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night

Seelt suffered a major knee injury in March last year but is now back in full training with his Sunderland team mates and is expected to play 45 minutes when the club's U21 side face Benfica B in the Premier League International Cup.

Ian Poveda is also set to play a part in the game, in what will be his first competitive football since suffering a hamstring injury against Derby County in October. The winger had returned to the matchday squad over the festive period but continued to feel some discomfort in his hamstring

While midfielder Alan Browne is not yet ready to return to action, Régis Le Bris says the Irishman should be back in full training next week to add further depth and competition to his squad


Still no news on Mundle though unfortunately. His 10 weeks expected injury time should be up by now?
 
An added bonus really. If we can get him up to speed in say March time then just another option at cb and rb. Might focus our attention to a left back rather than right back this window
 
Great news all told but Roberts is our only natural "winger" fit atm. its our only real weak spot that has no cover whatsoever. I cant wait to see that rectified , until we do there's little chance of an automatic spot imo and the playoffs will be competitive to say the least..
