A 21-year-old Sunderland player, known for his talent, is making progress towards a return to the first team following a hamstring injury. Dennis Cirkin, the Irish left-back, sustained this injury after the team’s 5-0 victory over Southampton on September 2nd, causing him to miss the past six Championship matches.
While his recovery is advancing, the upcoming Saturday’s away game against Stoke may still be too early for his comeback. Nevertheless, Cirkin’s recuperation has been quicker than anticipated, and manager Tony Mowbray is confident that the young defender will soon be back in action.
In a recent statement regarding Cirkin’s fitness, Mowbray confirmed that he is getting closer to a return to the first team. However, as mentioned in a previous press conference before the international break, it’s still likely that the first match for Cirkin may be too soon.
This is undoubtedly a positive development for the 21-year-old’s fitness, which will provide a welcome boost to the Sunderland squad once he is back in action.
Cirkin’s nearing return is a significant advantage for Sunderland. While he may not have reached his peak form this season, his time off due to injury has likely fueled his determination to reach the high performance levels he displayed in the latter part of the previous season.
