Bertrand Traore
30-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 3/14/2026
Picks up injury Tuesday
Traore played as a substitute but left with a potential injury setback in Tuesday's win over Leeds United.
ANALYSIS
Traore recently returned from a knee injury and made just a couple of appearances before getting hurt again. While it's unclear if he'll be sidelined again for a long period, the midfielder will need to be assessed to determine the extent of the new issue, so he shouldn't be expected to get extended time on the field. Either Nilson Angulo or youngster Chris Rigg could be deployed on the right wing if Traore misses more time.

Still needing more time
Traore (knee) is set to miss around another three weeks of action as he recovers, according to Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "So it's always symptom-driven, but they are both in a good place. So hopefully we'll have good news in a few weeks. Bertrand suffered an important knee injury and played with his national team in the second half. The diagnosis was that you need to rest and you need to take care of your knee if you want to have a stable knee for the end of the season and for his career as well. So we didn't rush the process and we took care of him just to make sure that he's ready to play."
