Trai Hume
The dependable full-back expressed his frustrations as to how the game unfolded at Fulham last weekend.
Dan Ballard
The rock of Sunderland. Gives his all to helping his team defend and attack. His last-minute block against Arsenal is a prime example.
Nordi Mukiele
Long throw specialist and a consistent performer in the heart of the Sunderland defence since signing in the summer.
Omar Alderete
Returned to the squad last weekend after being out of action due to following concussion protocols.
Reinildo
Has become the first choice left back since arriving during the summer transfer window. Was sent off against Aston Villa but returned to the starting lineup following suspension.
