Sunderland moved on 17 first-team players in the summer as Florent Ghisolfi streamlined Régis Le Bris’ squad. According to Sunderland Echo, their early fortunes vary widely at home and abroad.

Eliezer Mayenda has five appearances for Stade Rennais, four as a substitute, and is yet to score. Timothee Pembele started three times for Le Havre before an adductor injury, while Luis Hemir Semedo and Simon Adingra await debuts for Clermont Foot and Ajax, Adingra expected back next month.
