Sunderland could be without Lamine Kone and Victor Anichebe for Monday’s game against Liverpool, David Moyes has revealed.
Both players were forced off during the opening 45 minutes at Turf Moor, with Kone colliding with the advertising hoardings before Victor Anichebe suffered a hamstring injury in added time.
Jason Denayer also missed the defeat against Burnley due to a hamstring injury, although Moyes revealed a scan revealed no damage.
However, it remains unclear if he will return to face the Reds.
“I don’t know exactly what the injuries to Lamine and Victor are,” mused Moyes.
“Lamine got a blow and Victor’s looked like a hamstring so that would rule him out if that’s the case.”
He continued: “Jason felt his hamstring in training on Friday and we had it scanned but there was nothing on it, so we have to hope it’s not long term.
“There was nothing on the scan but he felt he wasn’t able to play.
“We had a couple of players who weren’t ready to play against Burnley – Steven Pienaar and Jack Rodwell – but we wanted to include them and get them ready for some of the games coming up.
“Let’s hope they can get themselves in a good condition and get ready to play some minutes.”
