Impact Traore is now nursing an injury following AFCON, leaving the midfielder questionable upon his return to the club. This is major news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit and will now have to wait longer to return. He will likely be set for some testing in the next few days as he returns to his club, hopefully not extending his spell from the club even longer.

Impact Reinildo is back with his club following his exit from AFCON and is now working on his return to play with his club, needing some time to build up fitness after a few busy weeks. He will then eye a return in their next contest, facing Palace over the weekend. He is their starter at left-back when fit, hopefully returning to that spot immediately once fit.

Brian Brobbey - Substituted as precaution Brobbey was taken off the field early in Saturday's 4-1 FA Cup in over Everton as a precaution, according to manager Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo.

Impact Brobbey didn't start and was instead worked in from the bench Saturday, coming on with 19 minutes to play but leaving in extra time. However, this was just a precaution, not holding any underlying injury. This clears him for play moving forward, likely to look to return to a starting role after six straight starts before Saturday, with one goal during that spell.

Impact Isidor missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury but has a chance to be back available for Saturday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton. The forward will be a late fitness call for the game, although his potential return to the squad will not impact the starting XI since he has mainly been a bench option recently. Isidor's next chance to feature in the Premier League will come against Crystal Palace next Saturday.

Robin Roefs - Concedes three in defeat Roefs registered three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Brentford.

Impact Roefs was forced into action almost immediately, tipping Kevin Schade's early lob over the bar inside the opening minute. He was then beaten on the half hour when Vitaly Janelt's through ball released Igor Thiago, who rounded him and finished for the opener. After Enzo Le Fee's penalty miss, Roefs was exposed again, conceding twice while making three saves and a season high three clearances. The goalie will look to show a better face in the next Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Jan. 17.

Impact Isidor is not yet an option after appearing to fail his testing ahead of the match, not an option from the bench or starting XI. However, with the forward nearly returning Wednesday, a spot should be waiting for him on the team sheet in one of their next two games.

Impact Masuaku was eliminated with DR of Congo from the AFCON and will now head back to Sunderland. The defender injured his ankle on a bad defensive action from his part and will have to be assessed once back with the Black Cats to know if he has to miss some time. That said, he was only a bench option prior to his trip to Morocco, therefore his potential absence will have no impact on the starting squad.

Impact Reinildo has ended his international duty at the AFCON with Mozambique and is now heading back to Sunderland. The defender will have only a few hours ahead of him before Wednesday's clash against Brentford, making him a doubt. If he can't make it, Dennis Cirkin will be the one starting on the left side of the defense again against the Bees.
