Features one half with U21 team
Hjelde (Achilles) featured one half with the youth team in Thurday's 1-0 win against Sporting CP, confirming he is back fit moving forward.
Analysis: Hjelde is set to reintegrate the senior squad after recovering from an Achilles injury and featuring one half in Thursday's 1-0 win over Sporting CP with the Sunderland U21 team. The defender will likely find a bench role for the Black Cats when returning to the match squad.
Expected to play with youth team
Hjelde (Achilles) is expected to play with Sunderland U21 in Thursday's clash against Sporting Lisbon, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "He will be involved in tonight's Under-21 fixture against Sporting Lisbon at the Stadium of Light."
Analysis: Hjelde has yet to feature with the senior squad this since after recovering from an Achilles injury. The defender is expected to build his fitness and play with the Sunderland U21 in Thursday's clash against Sporting Lisbon before integrating the senior match squad again. Once fully back fit, Hjelde is expected to claim back a bench role similarly to what he had last season with the Black Cats.
