The confirmed Sunderland and Watford team and injury news with 12 out and 1 doubt
Sunderland return to Championship action against Watford on Saturday
Sunderland are looking to build momentum in their promotion push when they welcome Watford to the Stadium of Light on Saturday lunchtime.
Both Régis Le Bris and Tom Cleverley have a number of injury and selection concerns to consider. Here’s the team news as we have it 24 hours ahead of kick off…
1. Alan Browne – available
Browne has had a long recovery from a broken bone is his leg but after a week of full training, he’s expected to return to the squad here. Luton’s visit on Wednesday night might be a good chance for him to get some minutes as Le Bris manages his squad.
2. Vakoun Bayo – out
Bayo was shown a red card during the defeat to Norwich City last week and though Watford appealed, they have been unsuccessful. Bayo therefore begins a three-game suspension in this game.
3. Rocco Vata – major doubt
Vata was a surprise absentee last weekend and though he has recovered from that know, Watford boss Tom Cleverley has revealed that he is now battling a virus which could prevent him from playing in his game. Would be a big miss.
4. 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.
