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...
5. Patrick Bamford - doubt

6. Tommy Watson - out
Is around a week behind Mundle in his recovery, and so expected back in full training towards the end of this week. Will be back in contention to play by the end of the month. | Sunderland player Tommy Watson
7. Jayden Danns - out
Danns' medical at Sunderland unearthed a back injury that will require a period of rest before he returns to training and joins his new team mates on Wearside. At this stage a return date is not known but he'll be absent for a couple of weeks at the very least. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
8. Ahmed Abdullahi - out
Abdullahi is back playing and training but Sunderland are managing his recovery from groin surgery carefully. Scored a hat-trick in midweek and could come into contention once he gets through a full U21s game. So Monday will likely come too soon but should be available after that. | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images
