THE WAIT IS OVER AS TONY MOWBRAY SAYS HE WILL START AGAINST SWANSEA AND……

Sunderland striker Eliezer Mayenda will travel with the squad for this weekend’s game against Swansea City, Tony Mowbray has said.

Sunderland added a crop of new young talents to their ranks over the summer and striker Mayenda was among them. As seems to be the case with many of the Black Cats’ attackers though, the teenager hasn’t had the best of luck with injuries

He’s been working his way back to full tilt and has had an extended wait for his debut as a result. However, it seems the 18-year-old will make a step forward in his journey to a debut this weekend.

Speaking to the media prior to the game, manager Mowbray confirmed Mayenda will travel with the squad to South Wales ahead of this weekend’s game against Swansea City. Reporter Phil Smith relayed the news on X as Mowbray looks to get the promising striker integrated with the rest of the first-team group after a spell on the sidelines
