But Le Bris will be without Bertrand Traore and Arthur Masuaku, who suffered injuries at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Sunderland had said both recoveries were expected to take at least a month, but Le Bris says he is hopeful of Traore returning within four weeks.

On Traore’s injury, Le Bris said: “We are expecting probably a three or four-week timeframe.

“We won’t rush the process because it’s better to give him a strong rehabilitation programme.

“We have other options because we were without him for almost four weeks (at AFCON).”
