Yet to recover from injury
Alese (shoulder) hasn't recovered from his injury and doesn't have a clear timetable for a return to action, Pranav Shahaney of Mackem News reports.
ANALYSIS
Alese last played for Sunderland in January during the 2024/25 Championship season, and it's uncertain when he'll be able to suit up for the Black Cats. He's one of several players dealing with injuries in the backline, as Daniel Ballard (groin), Luke O'Nien (shoulder), Leo Hjelde (Achilles) and Dennis Cirkin (wrist) are also navigating fitness issues.
