Sunderland is currently making preparations for their upcoming challenging match against West Brom, who are on their way to the playoffs. The team has managed to secure two points in their recent encounters with strong opponents Bristol City and Leeds United, and they will aim to increase their points tally once again this weekend. Unfortunately, Sunderland’s season has taken a significant downturn, and they are now facing a tough competition to secure a place in the top half of the table. Nevertheless, they remain determined to finish the season on a high note, as it will provide a source of optimism for the future. In the meantime, we have gathered all the latest news concerning the Stadium of Light.
Carlos Corberan, the head coach of West Brom, has announced that forward Josh Maja will be sidelined for the upcoming game against Sunderland this weekend. “If Wallace’s training progresses well and he is feeling completely fit, Maja will participate in the under-21s match tonight, assuming all other players from the previous game are available,” stated the Baggies boss.
“He requires this opportunity to play the game, which we are unable to provide in any other manner. Both the physical staff and coaching staff agree that this is precisely what he needs in order to contribute to the team.”
Occasionally, it is necessary to forego a match in order to ensure his readiness. Failure to make this sacrifice could result in a two-month delay in his return to play, considering his prolonged injury since the Sunderland game.
Hummel confirmed
Sunderland have confirmed they will have a new kit manufacturer from next season, with Danish brand Hummel taking over as part of a multi-year deal. Sunderland’s chief commercial officer David Bruce has said: “We have been working on this agreement throughout the season and we are delighted to welcome Hummel back to Sunderland.
