Sunderland’s woes deepen as yet another key player faces season-ending injury

Sunderland’s 2023/24 season has been marred by disappointment, marked by a promising start followed by a sharp decline in form. Even managerial changes failed to reverse the downward spiral, with interim manager Mike Dodds unable to secure a victory in his initial five matches in charge. Consequently, the club plummeted from playoff contention to mid-table mediocrity.

Injuries have been a significant factor in Sunderland’s slide down the standings. Dodds has grappled with a string of first-team players sidelined due to various ailments, including stars like Jack Clarke and Patrick Roberts, who missed several matches due to fitness issues.

Now, with only three games remaining, another blow has struck Sunderland’s squad, with Dan Neil being ruled out for the remainder of the season. Neil, a consistent presence in the midfield throughout the campaign, has been one of the team’s standout performers despite the overall downturn in results.
