Régis Le Bris's Sunderland XI and bench to face Bournemouth predicted

Sunderland aim to halt their Premier League slide at Bournemouth on Saturday lunchtime, with Régis Le Bris weighing major selection calls amid injuries and a three-game losing run.

According to Sunderland Echo, this is how the head coach might line his side up and shape the bench.

Goalkeeper Robin Roefs is enjoying an exceptional season and is firmly established as first-choice.

At right back, Lutsharel Geertruida impressed after Mukiele’s injury last weekend and will be hoping he can now get a run in what is generally considered his strongest position.

Centre-half Dan Ballard has been a key figure this season and will need to be on top form if Sunderland are to take anything from two tough away games.

Omar Alderete returned to the XI last weekend after a minor foot issue and will continue his partnership with Ballard.
