Sunderland enters the break after a convincing 5-0 victory over Southampton at the Stadium of Light, and the break will allow some of their injured players to heal.

He has healed from his injury after sitting on the bench for the last two games against Coventry City and Southampton, but he will need to be gradually introduced back into competitive play.
