Wilson Isidor encouragement for Sunderland amid anxious double injury wait

Wilson Isidor is returning to Sunderland in strong form after scoring three goals for Haiti during the international break. His impressive scoring run offers encouragement to manager Regis Le Bris ahead of a demanding stretch of seven matches in 21 days across three competitions.

Sunderland faces an anxious wait over injuries sustained on international duty by striker Brian Brobbey and defender Dan Ballard. Both players suffered hamstring injuries, leaving the Black Cats short of attacking options ahead of Saturday's match against Brighton.
