I will not play again: Sunderland AFC key player has decided to quit due to…

As they prepare for the return of Championship action against Hull City this Sunday, Sunderland have been handed a welcome boost on the injury front with one star now back in training after seven months out.

Sunderland injury news

Sitting top of the Championship, Sunderland will be desperate to pick up where they left off before the international break and turn their early push for promotion into serious title contention. Last time out, Regis Le Bris’ side certainly proved that they can cut it against the very best that England’s second tier has to offer, earning a point courtesy of Illan Meslier’s moment to forget against Leeds United.

The international break has only offered the Black Cats further positives too, as they prepare to square off against Hull City in pursuit of yet another impressive performance under Le Bris, who has proved to be an instant hit at the Stadium of Light.

As reported by the Sunderland Echo, Jenson Seelt is now back in Sunderland training and in line to make his return to action for the first time since suffering a knee injury against Southampton all the way back in March.

Missing seven months as a result of that injury, Seelt will be raring to go and desperate to get back involved. This weekend’s meeting with Hull will likely be a step too soon, however, given the amount of time that the centre-back has been sidelined for.

What’s more, when he is ready to feature, the Dutchman will have a battle on his hands to jump ahead of Chris Mepham and the ever-versatile Luke O’Nien in Le Bris’ pecking order.
