Sunderland dealt major scares ahead of Tyne-Wear Derby after double injury blow
- On Sunday, Sunderland AFC suffered a double injury blow as Nordi Mukiele was substituted just 12 minutes into their Premier League clash with Fulham, while debutant Jocelin Ta Bi was also forced off and replaced by Romaine Mundle.
- After eight minutes, Nordi Mukiele collapsed following an off-the-ball incident and was replaced by Lutsharel Geertruida, marking Sunderland's earliest withdrawal since Fabio Borini's 12-minute exit in 2014.
- Granit Xhaka returned as a substitute in the 71st minute, and Enzo Le Fee scored from the penalty spot five minutes later during the match; Mukiele has been a key figure with 14 appearances after signing from PSG.
- Sunderland AFC issued a statement condemning the abuse, calling the online racist messages aimed at Romaine Mundle `abhorrent` and saying offenders `are not welcome on Wearside`; the club is working with relevant authorities and online platforms, while the Premier League also condemned the abuse.
- With the Tyne–Wear derby next month, selection questions grow as Sunderland AFC have slipped to their third straight league loss, increasing stakes for upcoming matches.
