Sunderland boss Le Bris confirms star man is fit to face Man Utd

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris has confirmed that defender Nordi Mukiele is fit to face Manchester United on Saturday.

There had been reports that the 27-year-old was a doubt for this weekend but Le Bris has squashed those rumours.

“No, he’s okay,” the Sunderland head coach said.

The Black Cats will again be without midfielder Habib Diarra, however, who has recently undergone groin surgery.

Defender Reinildo will miss the game through suspension after being sent off against Aston Villa.

Romaine Mundle, Dennis Cirkin and Leo Hjelde are also likely to miss out again through injury.
