Danny Batth will miss the remainder of Sunderland's run-in with a knee injury, the club has confirmed. Skipper Batth limped off late in the Black Cats' midweek draw against Huddersfield Town at the Stadium of Light.
Boss Tony Mowbray said after the game that the centre-back would need to be assessed to discover the extent of his injury, and the club posted a statement today saying the 32-year-old would not play again this season. The statement said: "sunderland-afc>Sunderland AFC can confirm that Danny Batth suffered a knee injury during Tuesday’s draw with Huddersfield Town.
"The centre-back will miss the remainder of the campaign after featuring 42 times in all competitions this season. Following a period of rehabilitation during the summer, Batth will return for the club's 2023-24 pre-season preparations in June."
