Left back Reinildo has sustained a knee injury that will keep him out for around three weeks, with Sunderland hopeful he could return for the Newcastle United game.

For Fulham, Samuel Chukwueze is out with injury.

Tom Cairney has missed the last couple of matches with a calf issue. The problem is not considered severe, so a return this weekend remains possible.
