InLatest Sunderland injury news ahead of this weekend’s home game against Coventry City.

The most recent information about Sunderland’s injured players without a manager before their match at the Stadium of Light versus Coventry City

Prior to Michael Beale’s first game as head coach this weekend against Coventry City at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland’s injury concerns are still getting better. Although it seems unlikely that they will be thrust back into first team action before Christmas, long-term injuries Jay Matete, Aji Alese, and Timothee Pembele all made their comebacks for the U21s this week, and that first competitive game is still a significant accomplishment.

Under interim head coach Mike Dodds, Sunderland lost 1-0 against Bristol City last weekend, dropping them out of the play-off spots. In the past, Dodds had managed consecutive home victories over play-off opponents West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United, who were surefire candidates for promotion.

The Black Cats officially announced Beale as the new guy on Monday.

Beale took over as the Black Cats’ new manager on Monday. He will try to start off well against Mark Robins’ Sky Blues, who are currently six points behind the Wearsiders in 15th place in the standings.
