Sunderland striker won’t be playing for the club again this season with reasons

However, Nazariy Rusyn, who may not play again this season, is one guy who most certainly won’t be in the lineup.

Dodds doesn’t anticipate having the forward in the first team mix very soon, despite the fact that the Ukrainian has

returned to light training after missing the previous three games due to a calf issue.

“He’s not near,” Dodds remarked.

“He wasn’t with the group when he ran on the grass today. It will still be a few weeks before we know for sure if he

returns in time for Sheffield Wednesday’s match.

The interim head coach of Sunderland will wait as long as possible to announce his preparations for the Elland Road

encounter, and he will keep an eye on a few players who took knocks during Saturday’s 0-0 stalemate with Bristol City.

Dodds said: “Trai (Hume) picked up a little bit of a knock in the game but he got through it.

There are one or two we are having to manage a little bit.

“There is still 24 hours before the game so we’ll see how they react in the morning.”
