Sunderland handed double boost ahead of Aston Villa clash

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris says he expects to have duo Enzo Le Fee and Dan Ballard available for the clash with Aston Villa.

Ballard has been out since last month with a groin injury he picked up against Brentford but is in line to return this weekend.

Le Fee, meanwhile, missed the goalless draw with Crystal Palace because of a knock.

“Enzo I think will probably be available,” Le Bris said.

“Dan should be available, as well.”

Luke O’Nien is still recovering, however, and is not yet ready to return.
