Sunderland have eased concerns over Brian Brobbey's fitness. Manager Régis Le Bris said the injury is not serious and the striker will not be sidelined for a long period, according to NOS and NU.nl.

Le Bris gave the update during Thursday's press conference ahead of the Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion, reports Voetbalnieuws. The Dutch international picked up the injury during the international break, but the Sunderland boss is confident he will be back soon, according to Soccernews.

However, a return this weekend would come too early, adds Soccernews. Metro also reported on the injury update ahead of the Sunderland vs Brighton game.
