Dennis Cirkin
23-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
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.
Returns with youth team
Cirkin (wrist) was backwith Sunderland U21s, featuring in multiple matches this past week.
ANALYSIS
Cirkin got back in action with the U21s after finally overcoming numerous injuries. It's not clear what his role, if any will look like with the first team, but after missing all of pre-season and the beginning of the season, it's increasingly likely that Reinildo has made the left-back job his own moving forward with Arthur Masuaku the backup.

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."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Sunderland soon
Cirkin could leave Sunderland in January, according to TBR Football.
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.
