Isidor (undisclosed) remains a major doubt for Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth after suffering a minor injury against Brighton, according to coach Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "Wilson got a minor injury, and we'll assess day by day, we don't know for Bournemouth."
Analysis:Isidor sustained a knock during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Brighton, despite completing the full 90 minutes as Sunderland's central striker. The French forward subsequently missed Wednesday's team training session and did not travel to Portugal for Thursday's 2-1 Europa League victory over SCU Torreense. Although manager Le Bris described the injury as minor, Isidor has yet to receive clearance to return, leaving his availability for Sunday's matchup uncertain. Brian Brobbey, who recently resumed training and traveled with the squad for the European fixture, could benefit from additional opportunities up front if Isidor remains sidelined. A final decision on the striker's involvement will depend on his progress over the coming days.
