Arthur Masuaku

Masuaku (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.

Masuaku (undisclosed) is available to play Saturday against Burnley, manager Regis Le Bris told media during Thursday's pre-match press conference.

Masuaku (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's opener against West Ham United.

Masuaku (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "We will make a late call on both. They have only just joined the group, so we will see."

Masuaku has to work on his fitness in the coming days and will be assessed on a daily basis until being fit and ready for Sunderland, coach Regis Le Bris told the media, according to The Northern Echo. "We'll see. Every day we will make an assessment of their level and see how far we can push them through the training sessions. Lift the intensity, the contact. If they react well, they can then join the squad. If they don't react well, we wait one day, two day and assess again. So we will see for next week."
