Wilson Isidor - Makes international debut for Haiti Isidor came off the bench at halftime during Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Tunisia, making his senior international debut for Haiti, according to his club.

Impact Isidor's first cap for Les Grenadiers is a milestone moment for the Black Cat forward, who looks set to play a key role in Haiti's World Cup preparations heading into the summer. Coming on at the half in his debut suggests the staff already see him as a front line option, and with the 2026 World Cup in June on the horizon, Isidor could well be lining up as the starting number nine for Haiti when it matters most. This season, he made 19 appearances for Sunderland (12 starts) and scored four goals across all competitions.

Sean Dyche to the rescue? Tottenham consider offering short-term deal in Premier League relegation battle if Roberto De Zerbi rejects offer

Robin Roefs - Going gym training Roefs (hamstring) was involved in training in the gym, according to his club.

Impact Roefs had missed the last match before the international break with a hamstring injury, adding to a four-game absence, but is using the time off to recover, as the goalie was able to step back into the gym. This is a good step forward, as he will likely then see the training field during the break as well. He will then hope to be fit when the resume play on April 12, expected to assume back a starting role once fit.

Lutsharel Geertruida - Records four crosses Geertruida recorded four crosses (one accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.

Impact Geertruida is back in the starting XI, earning a fifth straight start Sunday after a spell of time in a rotational role through January and February. He earned a decent outing as Sunderland pulled out the win, whipping in four crosses while adding three tackles and six clearances in the defense. However, with Reinildo back fit again, Geertruida is likely in for a loss in time again, with Trai Hume returning to right-back.

Chris Rigg - Solid attacking display Rigg had three shots (one on goal), three crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Newcastle United.

Impact Rigg would come on for a third straight start Sunday and have a solid match as he tries to find a role in the team, recording three shots while setting up numerous other opportunities. However, the midfielder remains without a goal contribution this campaign, starting in eight of his 13 appearances. He will hope one comes soon as he earns more time, likely working at a bigger role next campaign.

Brian Brobbey - Nets game winner Brobbey scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91s...

Impact Brobbey would come up clutch for Sunderland as they took down their rivals, with a 90th-minute goal leading them to a 2-1 victory. This marks the forward's sixth goal of the season, now with seven goal contributions on the campaign. He last scored Jan. 24, although he has missed some time due to injuries since then.

Chemsdine Talbi - Scores equalizer Talbi scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United.

Impact Talbi would get Sunderland back into the match just after halftime, as the attacker would find the back of the net in the 57th minute to equalize the match. This is his first goal in some time, with his last coming Feb. 2 against Burnley. It brings the attacker to four goals on the season, up to five goal contributions in his first Premier League season.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Melker Ellborg - Concedes one against Magpies Ellborg registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

Impact Ellborg would make three saves Sunday while allowing one goal, a decent match for the keeper. However, it is a second straight league game without a clean sheet, remaining at one in his minimal three league appearances. He continues in the starting role for now as Robin Roefs (hamstring) recovers, although it is up in the air who will start against Tottenham on April 12 when play resumes.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Enzo Le Fee - Good to go for Newcastle clash Le Fee (undisclosed) is a bench option for Sunday's fixture agaisnt Newcastle United.

Impact Le Fee is available after sitting out one game, but is being eased into action and won't get the nod as usual, with Habib Diarra and Chris Rigg retaining the starting jobs. Le Fee has created at least one chance in five appearances in a row, amassing 15 key passes, scoring once and posting 20 crosses (six accurate), 12 corners and 14 tackles (eight won) over that span.

Wilson Isidor - Fit for Newcastle game Isidor (undisclosed) is a bench option for Sunday's tilt versus Newcastle United.

Wilson Isidor - Late fitness call Isidor (undisclosed) is a late fitness call for Sunday's derby against Newcastle, according to Tom Philipps from The Mirror.

Impact Isidor has been dealing with a knock that kept him out of the last match against Brighton, but his first-ever call-up to the Haitian national team signals the issue is minor and puts him on track to be available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle pending a late fitness check. That said, Isidor has struggled to carve out consistent minutes with Bryan Brobbey ahead of him in the pecking order and is expected to slot back into a bench role if cleared to play.
