Sunderland duo Adil Aouchiche and Bradley Dack both injured

Adil Aouchiche and Bradley Dack were injured as second-half substitutes at Stoke, and Tony Mowbray has confirmed that they were not included in the Sunderland squad for their 1-0 loss at Leicester City last night.

Both Dack and Aouchiche were left off of the Black Cats roster at King Power Stadium due to injuries to their hamstrings and groyne, respectively.
Whether they can bounce back in time for Saturday’s home match against Norwich City is still up in the air.

Mowbray declared: “Adil has a groyne injury. Dack has a hamstring injury.

“That’s the situation, they’re not with us, and it goes without saying that if they’re hurt, they’re not fit to play.”

Prior to kickoff at the King Power, Dan Ballard was considered seriously injured, but the Northern Ireland international was cleared to play.
“After the last game, Dan didn’t train at all, and we didn’t think he was going to play on Monday,” Mowbray stated.

However, I spoke with him. We were discussing the 1980s, a time when people had never scanned anyone. I asked Dan how he was feeling. Do you have any wounds?

“He claimed to be a little sore, but he played flawlessly and carried himself like a warrior. You wish for that.
