Reinildo Injury: Potentially option Saturday

Reinildo (international duty) has returned to his club and is eyeing a return Saturday against Crystal Palace, according to manager Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "With Reinildo, we will see. Rei might be available next week."

Reinildo is back with his club following his exit from AFCON and is now working on his return to play with his club, needing some time to build up fitness after a few busy weeks. He will then eye a return in their next contest, facing Palace over the weekend. He is their starter at left-back when fit, hopefully returning to that spot immediately once fit.
