Torreense

Manu Pozo returns to Torreense's attack this week after not playing against Tondela, having started three of the last five matches. David Bruno is expected to continue at right-back, a role he has held more often than Jonathan Mutombo across that same run.

Dany Jean has started all five of Torreense's last matches and been substituted in every one, but he is not expected to retain his place against Sunderland. Luis Quintero Hernández, given his first start in the last five matches against Tondela, is also not expected to start this time.

Sunderland

Sunderland are expected to be without Thomas Meunier and Daniel Ballard for the trip to Torreense after both missed training this week.

There is better news for the Black Cats further forward. Brian Brobbey returned to training alongside Habib Diarra following a hamstring injury, though their availability against Torreense remains unconfirmed. Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki are expected to start in midfield, while two defensive places remain open. Omar Alderete or Trai Hume could partner Kevin Danso, and Dayann Methalie is the leading candidate at left-back, with Reinildo the other option.
