There had been some speculation this week that Nordi Mukiele was an injury doubt for the game at Old Trafford, but Le Bris said he expected the French defender to be eligible for selection.

Sunderland still have a number of longer-term injuries and though they are all making solid progress, Le Bris is not expecting anyone back immediately after the international break.

Reinildo remains absent due to suspension, and has two games left to serve.

"Nordi is fine, he's OK," Le Bris said.

"We have no new injuries. With Romaine and Dennis, there is no definite date for their return to play. We think it will probably be a month, maybe a month and a half.
