I will not play again: Sunderland AFC key player has decided to quit due to…
Sunderland team captain Dan Neil believes three returning players could prove to be as good as new signings ahead of the Championship run-in.
The Black Cats are currently three points off the automatic promotion places and managed to keep hold of their best players during the January transfer window while also adding Enzo Le Fee and Jayden Danns alongside tying Wilson Isidor down until 2028.
However, speaking after Sunderland’s win against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium last Monday in the Championship, Neil admitted that three returning players could prove to be huge for the Black Cats with 16 games left to play in the Championship.
“Everyone’s still here. Obviously, we’ve added Enzo (Le Fee), who’s been a big addition and I think there’s some lads coming back from injury that people may have forgotten about, you know, Alan Browne, Romaine Mundle. They’re coming back and they’re almost going to be like new signings because we haven’t seen them in so long.
“Coming towards the back end of the season, you need those fresh legs. You need everybody to be in it together. I mean, Ian (Poveda) has come on for the first time in a long time today, which was nice to see. We need everybody in this run because we know what the challenge is like. It’s gruelling when it gets towards the end of the season. So we’re going to need everybody, and thankfully, we’ve got a few coming back.”
What is the latest with Romaine Mundle and Alan Browne’s injuries?
Régis Le Bris recently confirmed that Browne is ready to make his Sunderland comeback.
Browne has returned to full training this week after being sidelined with a broken bone in his leg since the 2-2 draw with Coventry City in November.
