Set for extended absence
Traore (knee) is expected to be out for a decent spell of time due to his injury and is still deciding whether surgery is an option, according to manager Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "The date is not completed exactly, but it might be a long injury. We're still deciding whether it is surgery or a more conservative treatment, we don't know this yet.
