Impact Sadiki was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's loss to the Gunners after feeling some muscular tightness, but he avoided any real injury and is expected to be available going forward for the Black Cats. With the match already out of reach, the change appeared to be purely precautionary rather than performance or injury related. That said, if Sadiki were to miss a match, Lutsharel Geertruida would be the logical fill-in, as Granit Xhaka (ankle) remains sidelined with an injury and is still two to three weeks away from returning.

Impact Sadiki has been one of the most important pieces of the Sunderland starting XI throughout the season, and is now set to miss at least three weeks. The midfielder has started every single match this season, both in holding midfield and in a box-to-box role. Chris Rigg or Dan Neil could get chances in the starting XI with Sadiki absent.

Injured on international duty Sadiki suffered an injury while with the DR Congo international camp, according to Evan Lloyd of Mackem News.

Impact Sadiki looks to have suffered an injury, with the defender leaving his national team's camp after picking up a sprained ankle. This is a rough turn for the midfielder, as he could be eyeing anywhere from weeks to months out due to the injury. However, initial thoughts are leaning towards a minor injury, although the worry of something more still lingers. He is a regular starter this season, so the club will monitor his situation closely, with Chris Rigg and Dan Niel as possible options if Sadiki misses time.

Completes Sunderland move Sadiki has completed a transfer from Union SG to Sunderland on a five-year contract, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Sadiki played a huge role in Union SG's title-winning campaign in the 2024-25 season, and he'll add some much-needed versatility to the Black Cats' defensive line for the 2025/26 campaign. Sadiki can play both as a central midfielder and central defender, so he should have plenty of chances to play regularly in Sunderland's return to the Premier League.
