Sunderland loanees: promotion pushes, injury setbacks and game time this season | OneFootball

Sunderland have dispatched a sizeable group on loan over the last two windows for minutes, fitness and experience. According to Sunderland Echo, returns range from promotion tilts to painful injuries.

Simon Adingra joined Monaco in January, scoring three in 10 and playing both legs of a Champions League play-off round with Paris Saint-Germain. Anthony Patterson has three clean sheets in seven for Millwall under Alex Neil, while Dan Neil has 10 outings for Ipswich amid speculation it could become permanent when his Black Cats deal expires at season’s end.

Jenson Seelt has 10 appearances for Wolfsburg, though a knee injury and illness have hampered him over the last three months. Arthur Masuaku has two outings for Lens, one in Ligue one, and was sent off during the warm-up before a Coupe de France quarter-final at Lyon last month. Timothee Pembele has seven games for Le Havre after a January move.

Leo Hjelde is rebuilding at Sheffield United with five Championship appearances since January. Alan Browne has 33 games, four goals and one assist for Kim Hellberg’s Middlesbrough promotion push.

Aji Alese joined Portsmouth in January but has only one substitute appearance after a serious groin injury in a 1-0 defeat to Preston North End in February. Zak Johnson has 20 games for York City and scored his first goal in a 3-0 win at Wealdstone in February.

Luis Semedo has two goals for Morierense, often from the bench. Nazariy Rusyn has four in 21 for Arka Gdynia after joining in the final hours of the summer window.
