Episode Notes

Phil Smith and James Copley are back to discuss a worrying international break for Sunderland, with Dan Ballard, Brian Brobbey and Noah Sadiki all picking up injury concerns.

We look at how serious the situation could be, what Régis Le Bris’ options are if key players miss time and why Sunderland’s improved squad depth could now be tested earlier than expected.

There’s also discussion on Kevin Danso’s strong start, the options available in defence and attack, and what all of this means ahead of a huge October schedule across the Premier League, Europa League and Carabao Cup.
