Jack Ross faced the press ahead of Sunderland's clash with Newcastle United
"We have no fresh injury worries. We were obviously quite stretched on Saturday with 15 fit outfield players. We're more or less the same."
"We consider the importance of the league game we have this Saturday - that will have an impact. We're obviously restricted with some of the changes we can make with the criteria around the competition."
Genuinely for me this is just another Checkatrade Trophy match. Players have treated every Checkatrade Trophy game in the same way and this will be no different."
