Régis Le Bris confirms Romaine Mundle out for months and hails Sunderland’s Hull cup win | OneFootball

Régis Le Bris has confirmed Romaine Mundle faces a few months out after meniscus surgery on a serious knee injury. The update came following Sunderland’s 1-0 Carabao Cup win at Hull City.

According to Sunderland Echo, the winger has missed recent matchday squads and now looks set to be absent until the festive period. Le Bris called it a significant setback for a youngster who impressed through pre-season, but stressed the club’s support remains in place.

He praised Mundle’s work over the summer and admitted the news was tough to take for everyone. The head coach said the player knows he has the club behind him, and described him as unlucky given last season’s hamstring issues and this knee setback.

Sunderland advanced to the fourth round thanks to a superb second-half finish from Chemsdine Talbi. Le Bris was pleased with the attitude of an entirely changed XI, noting the side started with energy, lost some composure, then raised the tempo after the interval to score and stay solid as Hull pressed late on.

He said the team will go step by step in the competition. Rotating across 11 players from Brentford and 11 from Hull underlines his view that the squad can handle multiple competitions for now, although injuries could shape plans.
