Sunderland workload rankings reveal who Régis Le Bris may protect during nine games in 30 days

Sunderland face a demanding schedule of nine games in 30 days between October 10 and November 8 across three competitions. Manager Régis Le Bris will likely need to implement controlled squad rotation to manage heavy player workloads, with midfielder Noah Sadiki leading the squad with 667 combined club and international minutes.

Key rotation candidates include Chris Rigg, Jules Ahoka, and Omar Alderete, especially with Dan Ballard currently injured. The report highlights that players like Granit Xhaka, Trai Hume, and Kevin Danso may also require rest during this intensive period.
