Sunderland debates right winger choice ahead of Ipswich clash
Summary

Sunderland is preparing for its upcoming match against Ipswich at Portman Road, slated for this weekend. The selection of the starting right winger remains uncertain, with considerations for Trai Hume, Nilson Angulo, and Chris Rigg emerging. Hume has the advantage due to his solid pre-season performances and tactical understanding, while Angulo is being considered following a strong showing at the World Cup.
