SunderlandMakes international debut for Haiti
Isidor came off the bench at halftime during Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Tunisia, making his senior international debut for Haiti, according to his club.
Analysis: Isidor's first cap for Les Grenadiers is a milestone moment for the Black Cat forward, who looks set to play a key role in Haiti's World Cup preparations heading into the summer. Coming on at the half in his debut suggests the staff already see him as a front line option, and with the 2026 World Cup in June on the horizon, Isidor could well be lining up as the starting number nine for Haiti when it matters most. This season, he made 19 appearances for Sunderland (12 starts) and scored four goals across all competitions.
Fit for Newcastle game
Isidor (undisclosed) is a bench option for Sunday's tilt versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Isidor has been cleared after dealing with a bruise and will provide depth, as he has done routinely throughout the campaign. He has started once in his last nine appearances, notching six shots (one on target), two tackles (one won) and four clearances.
Late fitness call
Isidor (undisclosed) is a late fitness call for Sunday's derby against Newcastle, according to Tom Philipps from The Mirror.
Analysis: Isidor has been dealing with a knock that kept him out of the last match against Brighton, but his first-ever call-up to the Haitian national team signals the issue is minor and puts him on track to be available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle pending a late fitness check. That said, Isidor has struggled to carve out consistent minutes with Bryan Brobbey ahead of him in the pecking order and is expected to slot back into a bench role if cleared to play.
Manages injury
Isidor (undisclosed) couldn't come off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Brighton due to managing an injury, according to coach Regis Le Bris, per the Sunderland Echo. "It wasn't possible [to bring Wilson on] because he got an injury. We were really on the edge. We were cautious. We could have pushed him, but it was risky."
Analysis: Isidor is currently nursing an injury and wasn't fit to feature off bench during Saturday's clash against the Seagulls, as coach Regis Le Bris chose not to risk him late in the game. Sunderland are already stretched thin due to multiple injuries across the squad, so the decision to keep him out was likely a precaution. That said, if he ends up missing additional time, his absence should only have a limited impact for the Black Cats since he has mostly operated as a bench option this campaign.
Available off bench
Isidor (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton, confirming he is back fit for Sunderland.
Analysis: Isidor was expected to return to the match squad for Saturday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton and ultimately found a spot on the bench. The striker is fully back fit and will likely see minutes off bench later in the game if called upon.
Could play in Carabao Cup
Isidor (undisclosed) has a chance to play in Saturday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "We will assess him today. He may have a chance."
Analysis: Isidor missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury but has a chance to be back available for Saturday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton. The forward will be a late fitness call for the game, although his potential return to the squad will not impact the starting XI since he has mainly been a bench option recently. Isidor's next chance to feature in the Premier League will come against Crystal Palace next Saturday.
Out to face Bees
Isidor (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Brentford.
Analysis: Isidor is not yet an option after appearing to fail his testing ahead of the match, not an option from the bench or starting XI. However, with the forward nearly returning Wednesday, a spot should be waiting for him on the team sheet in one of their next two games.
Late call against Brentford
Isidor (undisclosed) will be a late call for Wednesday's clash against Brentford, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "He will be tested on the grass today, and then we will make a decision."
Analysis: Isidor missed the last game due to an injury and will be assessed after the final training session on Tuesday to see if he can make the squad for the clash against the Bees on Wednesday. Isidor has been a bench option recently but with several players out due to the AFCON, having him fit would be a boost in the frontline for coach Regis Le Bris.
Misses Tottenham game
Isidor didn't play in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham due to an injury, with coach Regis Le Bris revealing that "It's probably a minor injury, and we'll see if he's available for Brentford".
Analysis: Isidor was not in the match squad for the first time this season, although he had featured only as a substitute over his last four games played. The striker will hope to recover in time for a midweek meeting with Brentford, but a late decision will likely be made depending on his progress. Brian Brobbey should continue to lead the front line regardless of Isidor's status.
Two shots from bench
Isidor registered two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Isidor would appear off the bench for 32 minutes Thursday and saw some decent time, notching two shots in the short appearance. This is a fourth straight match appearing off the bench, last starting against Manchester City on Dec. 6. He remains at four goals this season, all of which came before the start of November.
Experiencing regression
Isidor has scored just one goal in his last six EPL starts.
Analysis: Isidor opened the season on a tear with three goals in his first five league outings. However, the striker has regressed a bit in recent games and has found the back of the net just once in the last six. Over that six-game stretch, Isidor is averaging 1.8 shots per game, although only two of those 11 shots have been on target.
Nets equalizer
Isidor scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Analysis: The forward made good on his chances, putting in a goal despite Sunderland being down a man to get one point from the match. He has a good chance to score next Saturday against Nottingham Forest, a side which has allowed nine goals in five EPL matches.
Three shots in draw
Isidor registered three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Isidor led Sunderland with three shots, though none hit the target as the visitors finished without a shot on goal. The forward started his first game of the season after coming off the bench in the first three, scoring two goals in that span. He now totals seven shots in four games and will likely hold a rotational role under coach Regis Le Bris moving forward.
Scores dramatic goal in victory
Isidor scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Brentford.
Analysis: Isidor scored with a header from inside the six-yard box deep into second half stoppage time Saturday to help lift Sunderland to a 2-1 victory over Brentford. The forward matched a team-high with three shot attempts (two on goal) across his abbreviated 25-minute shift. Isidor has appeared as a substitute in each of Brentford's first three fixtures and scored twice.
Buries goal in win
Isidor scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory against West Ham United.
Analysis: Isidor entered the match as a sub for Eliezer Mayenda in the 76th minute of play, and he did not take long to get down to business, as he netted his squad's third goal of the match with a shot from the left side of the box early in second half extra time. He racked up 13 goals for the club last season and despite playing just 15 minutes in this season's debut, he managed to signify a good start in the return to Premier League.
