Dealing with discomfort
Sadiki (muscular) was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's 3-0 loss against Arsenal after experiencing some discomfort, but he did not suffer any injury, coach Regis Le Bris told the media, according to the Sunderland Echo. "He struggled a bit with a bit of discomfort but I think he'll be OK."
Analysis: Sadiki was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's loss to the Gunners after feeling some muscular tightness, but he avoided any real injury and is expected to be available going forward for the Black Cats. With the match already out of reach, the change appeared to be purely precautionary rather than performance or injury related. That said, if Sadiki were to miss a match, Lutsharel Geertruida would be the logical fill-in, as Granit Xhaka (ankle) remains sidelined with an injury and is still two to three weeks away from returning.
Brought off injured
Sadiki was brought off with an apparent injury during the second half of Saturday's clash with Arsenal.
Analysis: Sadiki was forced off in the 71st minute with the match already seemingly out of hand. The midfielder was brought off in favor of Lustharel Geertruida. Sadiki will have limited time to recover before another tough clash, at home against Liverpool, on Wednesday.
