UEFA rules let Sunderland temporarily alter its Europa League squad: up to one outfield player may be replaced through matchday six for absences of at least 60 days, preserving homegrown quotas; a goalkeeper can be replaced any time if an injury lasts at least 30 days.
Because Mundle occupies an association-trained place, the article says only Timur Tutierov or Aji Alese could replace him; the author doubts an official replacement will be named. Chemsdine Talbi and Juan Riquelme Angulo are possible options for Brobbey, whom reports cited in the piece suggest could be out until Christmas. The author expects Angulo to be used to ease Wilson Isidor’s European workload and add a second specialist striker option; this is not presented as a confirmed choice.
UEFA does not require a replacement goalkeeper to be locally trained, even if the injured goalkeeper was. The article gives Melker Ellborg as a possible replacement for Simon Moore if Moore suffers an injury lasting at least 30 days.
