Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray is holding his pre-match press conference ahead of his side’s Championship fixture against Norwich City.
Sunderland are preparing for their Championship fixture against Norwich at the Stadium of Light – and head coach Tony Mowbray held his pre-match press conference today.
Tony Mowbray’s team will be looking to bounce back from three consecutive defeats – despite an encouraging performance against league leaders Leicester on Tuesday.Norwich have slipped to 14th in the table after winning just two of their last nine league games.
We’ll start with the Sunderland team news.
Defender Dan Ballard was passed fit for Tuesday’s game against Leicester despite picking up a knock, while Dennis Cirkin returned to the squad and came off the bench following a hamstring injury.
Adil Aouchiche (groin) and Bradley Dack (hamstring) both missed the match at Leicester and are doubts for Saturday’s match against Norwich.
Eliezer Mayenda featured for Sunderland’s under-21s side in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Hibernian on Monday and could feature for the under-21s side again against Tottenham on Friday as he recovers from a hamstring issue.
Mowbray said earlier this week that Aji Alese is still ‘two or three’ weeks away following another minor setback, while Timothee Pembele, Jay Matete and Corry Evans are longer-term injury absentees.
We’ll get a further update from Mowbray this afternoon.
