Tony Mowbray has issued a brief injury update ahead of Saturday’s return to Wearside action against Preston North End.
The Head Coach sat down with safc.com on Monday as the international break comes to a close, and delivered the latest on his recovering players.
“Ellis [Simms] is progressing and will hopefully be a bit closer – we’ll have to wait and see.
“Dennis Cirkin is back out on the grass which is great for us, and he knows the competition too with Aji Alese’s performances.
“We have options going forward with our wide attackers and our number 10s, so we’ll be sure to adapt.”
