Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris says Granit Xhaka is progressing well in his recovery from injury.
The midfielder has suffered an ankle injury and is set to miss out again when the Black Cats take on Xhaka’s former club Arsenal this weekend.
Asked if there is an update on when he could be back, Le Bris said: “Not yet, but he’s doing well.
“He ran today on the treadmill so that’s positive.
“He’s a really good player so when we have our best players on the pitch, it’s better for the team, but it is what it is.
“I think in the Premier League at this competitive level it’s not unusual to have injuries or suspensions so we have to deal with the situation.
“For the players in that part of the pitch, it’s an opportunity to step up and show their qualities.
“I hope he will recover and heal quickly and in the spring and the end of the season to have the best version of him with us.”
