22-Year-Old Might Be Fit Enough For Aston Villa Game: Should Sunderland Rush Him?
22-Year-Old Might Be Fit Enough For Aston Villa Game: Should Sunderland Rush Him? Sunderland are sitting in 10th place in the Premier League table after picking up 46 points from their first 32 games of the season. Régis Le Bris has led his team through a solid run lately, with the Black Cats picking up back-to-back away wins against Leeds United and Newcastle United.
This boost follows a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Stadium of Light, where a goal from Nordi Mukiele made the difference. The Wearside team have only lost once in their last five league games, showing a tough defensive side that has helped goalkeeper Robin Roefs rack up nine clean sheets so far. As the team get ready for a tough trip to face fourth-placed Aston Villa this Sunday, the coaching staff is focused on keeping this momentum going through the final weeks of the season.
Final stages of recovery for Nilson Angulo Reports from Fútbol Ecuador say that Nilson Angulo is in the final phase of his recovery after tearing a muscle during the last international break. The 22-year-old winger moved to the Stadium of Light from Anderlecht in February for around €17. 3m, but getting injured while playing for Ecuador slowed down his start with the club.
Before his winter move, Angulo put up great numbers in the Belgian Pro League, scoring six goals and grabbing five assists in 22 games. His stats show he’s a real threat in the final third, averaging 2. 22 key passes per game and an expected assists (xA) value of 0.
28 per 90 minutes . While Régis Le Bris might bring the attacker along to Villa Park, he’s probably not match-fit enough to actually play this weekend. Most people expect the youngster to make his official return against Nottingham Forest on April 24th.
