“EXCITING News: ‘Talented’ Sunderland star POISED for STUNNING comeback after 7-Month Layoff
As Sunderland gears up for their Championship match against Hull City this Sunday, they’ve received a significant boost on the injury front with one player returning to training after a seven-month absence.
**Sunderland Injury Update**
Currently sitting at the top of the Championship, Sunderland aims to continue their momentum from before the international break and strengthen their promotion bid. In their last outing, Regis Le Bris’ team demonstrated their competitiveness by earning a point against Leeds United, thanks to an unfortunate moment from Illan Meslier.
The international break has also brought positive news for the Black Cats as they prepare to face Hull City, seeking another strong performance under Le Bris, who has quickly made an impact at the Stadium of Light.
According to the Sunderland Echo, Jenson Seelt is back in training after recovering from a knee injury he sustained against Southampton in March. After seven months out, Seelt is eager to return to action, though this weekend’s match against Hull may come too soon for him given his long layoff.
When he is fit to play, Seelt will face competition from Chris Mepham and the versatile Luke O’Nien for a spot in Le Bris’ lineup.
**Seelt’s Return is Crucial**
While O’Nien has adapted well to playing as a centre-back over the past year, Seelt’s return offers Le Bris a valuable option to potentially move O’Nien back to midfield. At just 21 years old, Seelt can step into O’Nien’s role and make his mark at the Stadium of Light after making only 11 Championship starts last season.
Former manager Tony Mowbray has praised Seelt, calling him “so talented” after a victory against Birmingham City. He noted, “We’ve wanted to get him on the pitch, but it’s been tough with Ballard and O’Nien’s form. He was set to come on and could play holding midfield, similar to how we use Trai Hume. Jenson has the skill to do that.”
Mowbray remarked on Seelt’s performance, stating, “He faced the challenge well, although at times the pace of the game was intense, and we were nearly caught out.”
