OUT

Est. Return 11/8/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cirkin took the starting job in the Championship last season and never gave it up, making 39 appearances (33 starts) and scoring three times with two assists. He ended the season with an injured wrist, something that will keep him out the first few weeks of the new season. He's set to be the starting left-back when healthy, but his offensive production is likely to struggle in the top flight. He created just 18 chances with seven shots on target last season, numbers that will only get worse in the Premier League with fewer clean sheets.
Trains with ball
Cirkin (wrsit) was pictured training with a ball Thursday, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Cirkin is finally seeing some positive news after battling some injuries, with the defender training Thursday following knee and wrist issues. This is great news for the defender, as he has yet to debut this season due to his injuries. He started in 33 of his 39 appearances last season, so he will hope to work towards a starting role once fit, although that seems unlikely after numerous new defensive options were brought in this summer.

Set for more time off
Cirkin (wrist) will need more time to recover from his injury, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference, according to the Northern Echo. "It's a bit longer than expected. For Dennis, we have to wait a bit. Things didn't heal properly after his wrist injury, and he has been complaining of his knee as well. He needs to rest a bit. We have decided to step back really. We have decided to give him a real period of rest so that he can reset and get ready to reconnect with the squad. That will give him the best chance of getting back to a point where he can perform."

ANALYSIS
Cirkin has struggled to recover from a wrist injury and has yet to play this season. Given that he'll be out of contract in the summer, Sunderland are ready to shop him in January. Otherwise, they'd allow him to leave the club without receiving anything in return.
