Simon Adingra
Scores opener in 1-1 draw
Adingra scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Adingra scored his first goal of the season as he got his longest appearance of the season so far. The winger only started for the sixth time this season, having made a big-money move from Brighton in the summer. He took two shots, with the goal being his only shot on target. He also created a chance for the first time in five games.
Appears from bench
Adingra registered one cross (zero accurate) and one clearance in Saturday's 3-0 defeat versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Adingra earned his first appearance in two outings Saturday, as the attacker came off the bench for 18 minutes of play. He would see little success in his time on the field, only recording one cross. He remains a minimal option for the club since the first month of the season, only earning one start and six appearances since Sept. 13.
Option off bench
Adingra (hamstring) is an option off the bench for Monday's clash with Everton.
Analysis: Adingra is back available off the bench for Monday's match after overcoming a hamstring issue. He was always expected to return for this match and did just that. Adingra hasn't played since coming off in the 37th minute against Manchester United on Oct. 4.
Should be available Monday
Adingra is dealing with a hamstring injury but should be available for Monday's clash against Everton, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "Simon had a hamstring injury but he should be ok."
Analysis: Adingra missed the game against Chelsea due to a hamstring injury but the winger has been doing fine and is expected to be available for Monday's clash against the Toffees. This is good news for the Black Cats because he remains a valuable option in the frontline despite starting only one of his last four possible games.
