When Will Brian Brobbey Return From Injury? Regis Le Bris Has Sunderland Update

Ballard is set for a longer absence after hamstring injuries on international duty, while Brobbey and Diarra could return within a week.

  • Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris confirmed on Thursday that striker Brian Brobbey and defender Dan Ballard will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Brighton due to hamstring injuries sustained during international duty.

  • Sunderland currently sits 14th in the Premier League, facing a difficult test against third-placed Brighton, who thumped defending champions Arsenal 3-0 before the international break.
