Sunderland Players Huggins, Mayenda, Mundle Return to Training Ahead of Play-offs

Sunderland have received several injury boosts during their warm weather training camp in Portugal, with Niall Huggins returning to partial training after a long-term injury layoff, though a play-off return remains unlikely. Dan Ballard has also resumed training and is expected to feature against QPR, while Eliezer Mayenda has cleared concussion protocols and is available for selection. Romaine Mundle is back in training following a hamstring issue and is on track for the play-off semi-finals, and Aji Alese’s involvement in sessions raises hopes for his play-off participation. Head coach Régis Le Bris emphasized the importance of the camp as preparation rather than a reward, aiming to build momentum for the season's final games. Midfielder Enzo Le Fée has encouraged the squad to finish strong in their upcoming match against QPR.
