Sunderland Prepares for Luton Match Without Injured Players

Sunderland's head coach Régis Le Bris has confirmed that both Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Ballard will miss the upcoming Championship match against Luton Town due to ongoing recovery from injuries. Despite the busy schedule of three games in six days, Le Bris indicated he may rotate some players, though significant changes are unlikely. Sunderland recently maintained their top position in the Championship with a win over Hull City, and Le Bris is optimistic about the return of Mayenda and Ballard for the next matches, although their exact return is uncertain. Luton Town, on the other hand, is dealing with its own injury crisis, particularly in defense, following a recent victory that boosted team morale. Head coach Rob Edwards expressed pride in his players' resilience amid these challenges. As the match approaches, both teams are navigating a mix of recovery and strategic adjustments to their line-ups.
