The Sunderland man has been handed an international call-up ahead of the break.
Callum Styles, a player for Sunderland, has received an international call-up.
The Barnsley loanee, who represents Hungary in international football, was chosen before the break after Sunderland’s Saturday match against QPR. The Black Cats play Cardiff City again on March 29 following the intermission.
Although born in England, Styles was also eligible to play international football for Hungary through his grandparents and has made 18 appearances for their national side so far during his career. Hungary will play friendly matches against Turkey and Kosovo during the break.
Before completing his initial loan move from Barnsley to Wearside in January, the 23-year-old underwent appendix removal surgery. Sunderland has the option to make the move permanent this summer through the club.
Following the Black Cats’ defeat to Swansea City, Styles gave the following explanation when asked how his move to Sunderland came about: “It’s been around for a few windows and the old manager (Tony) Mowbray wanted me in, then Michael Beale wanted me in.” It only came around in January, and I felt it would be great to play at the best level possible, especially for such a large squad. Of course, I had no idea that I would need surgery; it was an unexpected development, but the important thing is that we managed to cross the finish line.”
Asked if he feared the move wouldn’t happen, the midfielder replied: “As soon as I found out I had to have an operation I just thought that’s me done for kind of the season. I didn’t know much about it. The surgeon said six to eight weeks I’d be back and I’m back in four weeks.”
“It was gutting, especially with a team like Sunderland,” Styles stated when asked how he felt when he feared the move to Sunderland wouldn’t go through. But, the most important thing is that it went through. I’m thrilled to be here and to be a part of this team.
This coming Saturday at the Stadium of Light in the Championship, Sunderland will play Queens Park Rangers, and Mike Dodds’ team will be hoping to avoid a seventh straight defeat.
