Coventry vs Sunderland team news

Wilson Isidor could return for Sunderland at Coventry after missing recent matches with a knock. Régis Le Bris described the striker as being “on the edge” for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie with Brentford, with Saturday seen as a more likely comeback. Thomas Meunier is also nearing a return from a hamstring injury. Read our Wilson Isidor injury update.

Dan Ballard remains unavailable with what Le Bris described as a medium-term injury. Romaine Mundle is also sidelined following knee surgery, the Sunderland Echo reported on Tuesday.

Sunderland played Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and host Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday 5 November, so Le Bris has a busy run of fixtures to manage.
