Le Bris confirms Sunderland boost ahead of Bournemouth – and hints there could be changes after Fulham defeat | OneFootball

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris has confirmed he has no new injury worries ahead of the game against Bournemouth.

Habib Diarra and Aji Alese are the only absentees for the Black Cats currently, with Dennis Cirkin, Romaine Mundle and Leo Hjelde set to return to first-team action soon having played for the U21s of late.

And Le Bris is delighted to have a healthy squad to choose from ahead of a busy schedule of games.

“It’s all green,” Le Bris said. “Which is positive and it’s a good sign.”

Ahead of a packed fixture schedule, Le Bris also accepts he will need to rotate his squad more than he has done in recent weeks.

“I think naturally, organically, it will happen for sure,” he said.

“I had this conversation with the players and I told them, because we performed well, consistency is key.

“It’s a new squad. It was normal to keep the same starting 11 because of how good we have (been).

“Now, with the main course of the season with many games in a row in a short amount of time, organically it will happen, and you will have opportunities to play. Get ready for that.

“I think they are training well so far so I hope they will be ready for these fixtures.”

Le Bris’ side will be looking to bounce back against the Cherries having been beaten 1-0 by Fulham in their last outing.
