Le Bris admits places are still up for grabs ahead of Cats' Premier bow
Sunderland Echo
|August 15, 2025
Régis Le Bris insisted that there were still places in his starting XI to face West Ham United tomorrow up for grabs during training this week.
Le Bris oversaw Sunderland's two final preseason friendlies last weekend, with a strong side beating FC Augsburg 1-0 on Saturday before heavy rotation saw a 3-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
That has led to common consensus that Le Bris will name the same side that faced Augsburg this weekend and though that is clearly largely true, Le Bris insists he is still to make up his mind in a few areas.
"We'll see this week," Le Bris said.
"I hope I have many questions at the end because it's better to have more competition. This is still the case. In two or three positions I can choose one or two. I think we're in a good place. Now I'm looking forward to the weekend."
