The centre defender was expected to miss six to nine months of action due to surgery for the problem.

e Dodds stated it was doubtful the center-back would play again this year. Nevertheless, Seelt has posted pictures of his recuperation sessions to social media with the message, “No ups without downs.” A large scar from his surgery can be seen on his knee in one of the photos.Seelt was acquired by Sunderland from PSV in the summer of last year, after the defender agreed to a five-year deal. During the 2023–24 season, he made 17 Championship appearances with the Black Cats, playing both centre back and right back.
