Brian Brobbey - Forced off with ankle knock Brobbey was forced off in the first half of Thursday's 1-0 friendly loss to Leeds United as a precaution after an ankle knock, according to Chronicle Live.

Impact Brobbey struggled to find room against a compact Leeds United back line before the injury scare, briefly clashing with Joe Rodon in a physical challenge earlier in the half. His early withdrawal is likely precautionary given the World Cup momentum he carries into the new season, having scored three goals in four appearances for the Netherlands, and further clarity on the severity of the knock will be needed as Sunderland continues shaping its attack around him for the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Sebastiaan Bornauw - Plays 72 minutes in return Bornauw (undisclosed) started and played 72 minutes in Thursday's 1-0 friendly win over Sunderland, according to the club.

Impact Bornauw had been held out of an earlier preseason friendly against Wrexham as a precaution for a very minor issue, so his extended run of minutes in this match confirms he is fully available again. His versatility across the back line makes him a useful option for Leeds United as preseason continues ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Lucas Perri - Misses friendly with knock Perri (undisclosed) missed Thursday's 1-0 friendly win over Sunderland due to a knock, according to Isaac Johnson of Leeds Live.

Impact Perri's absence comes with some added uncertainty given the reported transfer speculation surrounding him, even as the club has reportedly attributed it to a knock. His status for the club's next friendly against Liverpool on Sunday will be worth monitoring closely.
