The injury crisis at Sunderland has seen the club struggle to maintain their place in the Championship, with key players such as Jermaine Johnson and Sean Shields both out for the season.
However, there is hope on the horizon with the arrival of new signings and young players stepping up to fill the void left by these injuries.
One player who has been making waves recently is goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has impressed in his time at the club so far. The 22-year-old has made several impressive saves during his time at the club, showing that he has the potential to become a top-class goalkeeper in the future.
Another player who has been impressing is midfielder Joe Willock, who was signed from Arsenal earlier this year. The 18-year-old has already made several appearances for the first team, and has shown great promise in his short time at the club.
In addition to these signings, the club has also brought in a number of young players who have been making significant contributions to the team. These include defenders Harry Toffolo and Ryan Edwards, midfielders Cameron McGeehan and Jake Clarke-Salter, and striker Josh Maja.
Overall, it seems that Sunderland's injury crisis may not be as bad as initially thought, with some promising signs emerging from the squad. With more players continuing to step up and make contributions, it remains to be seen whether they can turn things around and avoid relegation this season.
