Sunderland handed major injury concern as Brian Brobbey suffers suspected hamstring problem

Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey was forced off after just 35 minutes during the Netherlands' clash with Germany due to an apparent hamstring injury. The forward signaled immediately for a substitution and was later pictured limping heavily through the tunnel while receiving assistance from Dutch staff members.

The setback comes shortly after Brobbey scored a hat-trick in Sunderland's 5-3 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Manager Regis Le Bris faces an anxious wait ahead of the Black Cats' next Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion on October 10.
