Dan Neil has returned refreshed and back to his best after being given a much-needed breather, according to Sunderland boss Alex Neil. Midfielder Neil was one of the group of young players that the head coach had said looked fatigued and jaded when he first took over last month, and after starting him in his first two games in charge he pulled him out of the team.
Substitutes Dan Neil and Patrick Roberts scored late goals as Sunderland scraped an unconvincing victory against basement side Crewe Alexandra at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats toiled for 85 minutes against a side that had lost nine of its last ten games, barely testing visiting goalkeeper Dave Richards.
Seemingly getting their push for promotion back on track over the last couple of weeks, Sunderland will be looking to secure all three points at home to Crewe Alexandra today.
Luke O'Nien made his first start since recovering from shoulder surgery as one of three changes to the Sunderland side that beat Fleetwood Town in midweek. O'Nien made a goalscoring comeback from the bench in that game after three-and-a-half months on the sidelines, and he was rewarded by Alex Neil with a place in the starting XI against Crewe Alexandra, with Elliot Embleton missing out.
Sunderland manager Alex Neil believes that Luke O’Nien can be a key figure for the Black Cats in midfield – and he’s wanting regular goals following his triumphant return against Fleetwood Town in midweek.
Sunderland manager Alex Neil has revealed that Alex Pritchard’s current injury is not as bad as first feared.
Nathan Broadhead could be in contention for Sunderland's game against Crewe tomorrow - but there is no timescale as yet on Alex Pritchard's return. Broadhead made his comeback last weekend at Charlton Athletic from the hamstring injury that had sidelined him since before Christmas, but was then absent for the midweek win against Fleetwood with Alex Neil saying the on-loan Everton striker had felt some stiffness in his hamstring.
Sunderland winger Jack Clarke has taken to Instagram to provide the Wearside faithful with a four-word message.
