Sunderland’s Le Bris Condemns Racist Abuse of Romaine Mundle, Details New Injury Setbacks

The manager paired a public show of support with blunt injury timelines that could reshape Sunderland’s near-term selection.

Overview

  • Regis Le Bris called the racist messages sent to winger Romaine Mundle unacceptable and reaffirmed the club’s commitment to respect, inclusion and diversity.
  • Mundle’s injury is still being assessed, with Le Bris warning the winger could be out for weeks or even months before a clearer timeline is set.
  • Jocelin Ta Bi faces a similar multi-week or months absence, while Nordi Mukiele and Brian Brobbey are targeting shorter two-to-four-week returns depending on rehab progress.
  • Dennis Cirkin is about 10 days from match readiness, Bertrand Traore has rejoined full training, and Reinildo Mandava is progressing but not expected to face Bournemouth.
  • Police continue to investigate a spate of racist abuse cases across the Premier League, as Kick It Out and the league demand stronger platform action, and Wolves’ Rob Edwards backed Tolu Arokodare after he was targeted online.
