Sunderland manager Regis le Bris assesses squad injuries before hosting Arsenal Saturday

Sunderland manager Regis le Bris addressed team news and tactical preparations ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Arsenal at the Stadium of Light. The club faces a setback with winger Romain Mundle sustaining a knee injury that is expected to keep him sidelined until the end of the year. Meanwhile, midfielder Habib Diarra continues his recovery from a hamstring issue. Le Bris expressed pride in the current momentum of the club and emphasized the importance of maintaining an underdog mentality against an Arsenal side currently on a five-match winning streak. The manager noted that the team intends to stay true to their tactical model rather than seeking perfection during the 20:00 BST fixture. The match serves as a critical test for Sunderland to leverage their home atmosphere and maintain a competitive edge against the defending champions.
