Sunderland have received injury news ahead of their Championship match against QPR at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
Sunderland defender Dan Ballard made his comeback as Northern Ireland lost 1-0 to Kazakhstan in a Euro 2024 qualifier.
Due to an injury setback, the 23-year-old centre-back missed his country’s 4-2 defeat in Slovenia three days earlier, but he played 90 minutes against Kazakhstan at the Astana Arena.
Trai Hume, of Sunderland, also began the game, gaining his sixth international cap.
Ballard injured his ankle in Sunderland’s 5-0 win over Southampton before the international break and returned to Wearside to be evaluated while Northern Ireland traveled to Slovenia.
The defender is set to be available when the Black Cats meet QPR this weekend at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
Patrick Roberts has missed Sunderland’s previous two games due to a slight hamstring injury, but he could return.
New signees Nazariy Rusyn, Mason Burstow, Timothee Pembele, and Adil Aouchiche, who joined the club on transfer deadline day, might also make their debuts for the Black Cats.
