Sunderland travel to Hull City for their return to Championship action next Sunday
Sunderland return to Championship action next weekend looking to build on their excellent start to the season at Hull City.
The Tigers fell to a heavy defeat against Norwich City in their last outing but had won three games before that as they battled back from a poor start to the campaign under new boss Tim Walter. Both Walter and Regis Le Bris have some injury concerns to contend with, and some big decisions to make. Here’s the early team news for both sides.
Connolly was included on the bench for the draw with Leeds United having impressed the staff with his fitness since arriving as a free agent. Played 45 minutes in the U21s on Monday night and scored in an eye-catching display. The plan as it stands is for him to play 60 minutes in their next fixture on Tuesday night and should he come through that unscathed he’ll be in the squad to face Hull.
