New signing Edouard Michut has suffered an injury setback as he builds up his fitness ready to join Sunderland's Championship campaign. The on-loan Paris St Germain midfielder suffered what head coach Tony Mowbray described as a 'slight strain' in training, which meant he was not involved in a training ground game between the first team and a side made up of players from the U18 and U21 sides.
And as a result of that injury, Mowbray says Michut is a couple of weeks behind fellow new arrivals Amad Diallo, Abdoullah Ba, and Jewison Bennette, who did play a part. "We put on a bounce game the other day against the U18s/21s," said Mowbray.
"We managed to get Jewison Bennette a game, Amad played as well, Abdoullah Ba, too. Edouard Michut has got a slight strain.
