After a frustrating draw with Preston North End in midweek, Sunderland are straight back to Championship action when they welcome Coventry City to the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
Coventry made the shock decision ahead of the game to sack long-serving and hugely successful boss Mark Robins, putting first-team coach Rhys Carr in temporary charge. Like Régis Le Bris, he has a number of injury and availability issues to continue ahead of the game. Here’s all the team news across both camps as we have it...
1. Romaine Mundle - doubt
Mundle was a game changer in extra time of the second leg as he made his return from a hamstring injury. Le Bris said everyone was 'more or less' available and so the big question is how big a part he can play. | Frank Reid
2. Patrick Roberts - doubt
Le Bris's comments also suggest Roberts will be available despite a calf issue - the question again being how much he'll feature. Photo: George Wood
3. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - available
Crystal Palace loanee came off the bench in the second leg win over Bristol City and so should be in contention to start here. Winger with the ability to win the game at his best. | Getty Images
4. Ahmed Abdullahi - doubt
Is back in full training after recovering from a groin issue but a concussion has slowed progress. Is out of the protocols in time for Wembley but given his lack of regular training and match sharpness it would be a huge surprise for Le Bris to include him. | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images
