Sunderland: Mowbray’s “vital” star to miss multiple games through injury
Sunderland are set to be without one of their first-team players for the immediate future, following a fresh update.
Who is injured for Sunderland?
Tony Mowbray currently has Dennis Cirkin and Bradley Dack both on the sidelines with their own respective injuries at the Stadium of Light, alongside new signing Timothee Pembele, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer but is still building up his fitness, as per ChronicleLive.
In addition to those three, Nazariy Rusyn still hasn’t been given international clearance so is yet to be able to make his debut for the northeast outfit, but they aren’t the only players who won’t be available for selection for Wednesday evening’s fixture at Ewood Park.
Following his arrival back in January, Pierre Ekwah has made a total of 25 senior appearances and has quickly become an integral member of the boss’ squad, but he was forced off the pitch in the previous game against Queens Park Rangers.
During the 3-1 victory over Gareth Ainsworth’s side, the defensive midfielder had to be replaced by Alex Pritchard on 14 minutes after taking a knock to the knee – which is an area that he’s previously been affected by – and the manager has now delivered a new
update on the 21-year-old’s situation.
How long is Pierre Ekwah out for?
Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Mowbray confirmed that Ekwah is ruled out of not just the match vs Blackburn but likely one or two more, whilst also sharing details on the injury to Cirkin.
As quoted by the club’s official website, he said: “Dennis is going to be a few weeks. He will potentially be back after the next international break.
