Bertrand Traore
30-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/28/2026
Will miss several weeks
Traore (knee) is set to miss four to six weeks due to injury, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Traore returned from international duty with Burkina Faso at the AFCON with a knee injury that has been assessed in the recent hours and that will sideline him for four to six weeks. The forward has been an undisputed starter for Sunderland prior to his trip to Morocco, therefore a change will have to be made in the frontline, with Romaine Mundle and Eliezer Mayenda as the main candidates to see increased playing time while Traore is sidelined.
