Sunderland will be without Dan Ballard for the 'foreseeable future' after the central defender limped off against QPR. The new arrival suffered a fractured foot in the 2-2 draw with QPR at the weekend.
The 22-year-old has been an ever present since making the move to Wearside in the summer, but managed just nine minutes before being replaced by Luke O'Nien.
“Dan has a small fracture in his foot,” said Sunderland Head Coach Alex Neil. “He’s going to be out for the foreseeable future, but it is difficult to put a timescale on it”
