Sunderland star withdraws from international duty – Set for weeks out injured

Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey has withdrawn from the Netherlands national squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures. Journalist Mounir Boualin reported on November 10, 2026, that the forward suffered a small tear in his upper leg. Consequently, the Dutch international is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, making his availability uncertain for Sunderland's upcoming Premier League fixtures.

The setback follows an earlier hamstring injury suffered in late September that kept Brobbey out for 29 days across three matches. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris had already voiced caution regarding the striker joining the national team. Brobbey has contributed three goals and one assist across nine appearances for Sunderland so far this season.
