“Regis Le Bris’s Hidden Gem: The Shocking Solution to Jobe Bellingham’s Absence at Sunderland That Fans Need to See
Sunderland’s manager faces a clear decision as the team prepares for their midweek match against Preston North End, following the confirmation of two key absentees.
After earning a point from a goalless draw against Queens Park Rangers, Sunderland will be looking for a stronger performance. However, they’ll be without midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who received a red card in the last match, and Chris Rigg, who is sidelined due to injury, as confirmed by manager Regis Le Bris.
Bellingham’s presence in midfield has been crucial, and his absence was felt in the final moments against QPR. Le Bris now faces the challenge of maintaining the team’s performance levels without these two players. One potential solution could be to give Milan Aleksic a chance to shine.
Signed for £3 million on Deadline Day, Aleksic has yet to see any game time since joining Sunderland, and his patience has been tested. With limited options available, Le Bris might consider utilizing Aleksic, especially since Adil Aouchiche is unlikely to play this season.
The upcoming match against Preston could be a pivotal moment for Aleksic. His high price tag indicates significant potential, and Le Bris is known for effectively managing younger talent, making it unclear why Aleksic hasn’t featured yet. Before joining Sunderland, he excelled in Europa Conference League qualifiers, scoring twice for FK Radnicki. Aleksic’s ability to contribute as a goalscoring midfielder could be just what Sunderland needs in the weeks ahead.
