Sunderland chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has emailed supporters in Portugal inviting them to watch an open training session this evening. The Black Cats' friendly against Rangers on Saturday night was abandoned at half-time due to a powercut which plunged the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira into darkness, with Sunderland leading 1-0 at the time.
But Louis-Dreyfus has now extended an invitation to fans to watch Alex Neil and his players train from 5.30pm-7pm at the stadium. The majority shareholder's email said: 'First and foremost, thank you for your support this pre-season and for backing our team throughout this week's trip to Portugal.
'Unfortunately, our game against Rangers was cut short on Saturday evening due to circumstances outside of our control. We understand this was disappointing for those of you in attendance and I shared this frustration, but you remained in fantastic spirits and it was great to personally meet many of you post-match and to see our team and our supporters come together.
