00:00 Dan Ballard will be out for two games, Lugo Nine as well,
00:02 what a disciplinary tightrope he could pick up a suspension in the next couple of games.
00:06 You know, the bad news continues to come really, doesn't it?
00:10 - Yeah, the Ballard one's going to be a big loss, isn't it?
00:12 I mean, Sunderland were fortunate that O-Nine didn't pick up a booking as well.
00:15 He'll have to be careful in the Swansea game that he doesn't get another booking.
00:19 So then they'd both be out for the Norwich game and then they'd have to really rejig
00:22 kind of the defence around, as they did earlier in the season.
00:25 The home game against Birmingham, wasn't it, where both O-Nine and Ballard were suspended
00:29 and Trantis and Seahawks came in.
00:31 Trantis is now obviously out on loan.
00:32 Sunderland have brought in Leo Yelder, who has actually said he's preferred
00:36 positioning centre-back, so maybe he could move in there.
00:38 But then that would again mean probably Tryke, who must go to left-back.
00:41 Pembele might have to come in.
