Alderete (undisclosed) limped off in the 86th minute of Monday's 3-0 victory against Burnley, according to VAVEL.

Alderete picked up an apparent issue late in Monday's win against the Clarets after being forced off the pitch while limping. The center back is expected to be evaluated in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will need to miss time to recover. If that proves to be the case, Nordi Mukiele would likely step into central defense, with Trai Hume shifting back into a more defensive role for the Black Cats.
