All the latest updates as Tony Mowbray's Black Cats face Paul Ince's Royals in tonight's Championship game.

[Ross Stewart](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/ross-stewart) is out of action. He is a wonderful talent but he has to produce, and he knows that. "It's almost comical really that Pat Roberts, with the talent he has got, isn't in this team. Sunderland have back-to-back away games this week at Reading tomorrow and then at Watford on Saturday and Michut will travel with the squad, who are due to stay and train in the South between those fixtures. New signing Edouard Michut is still coming to terms with the intensity of training in England - but could be in contention to join Sunderland's Championship campaign after the international break. Roberts has been on the periphery largely because of the system that previous boss "He's trained with us this week but we're still protecting him a little bit, he doesn't necessarily do all of the sessions. However, the blow to Stewart means they have just Ellis Simms as a like for like striker. And Mowbray says Neil is every bit as talented as he had seen from afar last year, and now sees it as his job to help the 20-year-old improve still further. But they have defied those predictions, with Paul Ince's side making an excellent start to the current campaign and they sit third in the table, having won four of their last five games. "Dan's career is on an upward trajectory, he's a very talented boy," said Mowbray, whose Sunderland side heads to Reading tomorrow. The Wearsiders failed to score in the 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough, but Mowbray pointed out that the nature of Stewart's absence - he was injured in the warm-up - meant his side wern't able to plan tactically without him.

Ahead of kick-off, here's your match preview. What? Championship Matchday 9. Season? 2022/23. Who? Sunderland. Where? Select Car Leasing Stadium. When?

Jeff Hendrick seems to be improving his game following a mixed start to life at the SCL Stadium - and just from his posts on Twitter - it seems as though he’s becoming more comfortable with life in Berkshire. Having the former Sheffield Wednesday man out of action could leave the Royals with a real shortage of options at the heart of their defence, so they will be counting on him to remain injury free. Baba Rahman has had a disrupted pre-season at Chelsea with the Ghanaian being forced to train away from the Blues’ first-team squad, so keeping Junior Hoilett in the first 11 makes sense and the Canadian hasn’t done anything wrong to be fair to him. Dean Bouzanis will be looking to keep the Middlesbrough man on his toes though. But it remains to be seen if he can adapt to a central role. The former Metz man could be a valuable contributor in central defence and midfield - and may end up earning a longer contract than his current short-term one, which runs until January.
