‘Outstanding’ Sunderland man potentially out until 2025
Injuries have not been kind to Sunderland this season. A host of injuries throughout the past couple of months have helped derail the Black Cats campaign and banish them to the middle of the table.
Things have looked up recently for Mike Dodds with Corry Evans, Bradley Dack and Jack Clarke all on the mend.
However, with one step forward, there seems to be another step back. Jenson Seelt, who suffered a knee injury before QPR will now need surgery. This could see him out of action for months on end.
