OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 3/22/2026
Remains out Saturday
Mukiele (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton as he is not yet fit enough to feature, according to coach Regis Le Bris. "This weekend will come too soon for Roefs, Mukiele and Reinildo..."
ANALYSIS
Mukiele remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Brighton due to a calf injury that has already forced him to miss the last three matches. The versatile defender, capable of playing both center-back and full-back, has been an important piece in the back line, so his continued absence is a significant blow for the side. He has started all 25 Premier League matches he has appeared in this season, with Lutsharel Geertruida expected to start at right-back in his place.

Sunderland have agreed a deal to sign the 27-year-old Paris St-Germain and France defender. The deal would be for an initial £9.5 million with a further £2.5 million in add-ons.
