Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey was injured playing for the Netherlands against Germany; the severity and return timeline were unknown. If he is out for an extended spell, Wilson Isidor could get a run in the team. Brobbey scored a hat trick against Manchester City days earlier.
Isidor started Sunderland’s Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar. The writer said he looked sharp and saw signs of a promising on-field partnership with Enzo Le Fée. The article describes Isidor as relying more on quick passing and runs between defenders than on the hold-up play and physical duels associated with Brobbey.
The article identifies young Juan Riquelme Angulo Caicedo as Sunderland’s only other senior striker in the first-team picture. The writer argues that a prolonged Brobbey absence could require Sunderland to adjust its style if Isidor gets an extended run.
