Sunderland forward set for exit, but Black Cats delay transfer decision on duo.

Only a few weeks ago, it appeared that Aouchiche would depart during the January transfer window, but a series of injuries and setbacks gave the 22-year-old the chances he deserved, according to the head coach. Aouchiche, who has only played 18 minutes of Championship football in the first three months of the season, has started the last two games, appeared in five of the last six, and is expected to start this afternoon when the Black Cats play Portsmouth. Aouchiche will stay with the club for as long as possible before making a choice, even though Le Bris did not totally rule out him departing this month.

According to Le Bris, Adil never gave up. He was quite certain that an opportunity would present itself, and it did. It demonstrates that an opportunity may present itself if you remain committed to the project and work on it every day. We’ll take our time, but I’m not sure what will happen exactly. He deserves to play these games, though, because he has been reliable.We have few options right now, therefore we need him. He was entitled to play these games, too. He ought to be content, and I am certain that he is. Even though you have no idea what the future will bring, I believe it is better to wait if you must leave now rather than obtain minutes.

Nazariy Rusyn is another marginal player who might still be at Sunderland this month. Despite initially implying that the Ukrainian forward could depart, Le Bris did not rule out the forward staying, even though he has only played six minutes of Championship football since the end of September. But it’s highly likely that Abdoullah Ba will go before the month is over. “It depends on the player,” Le Bris stated. Since Abdoullah isn’t actively involved, it’s a possibility for him.”Since Naz participated in the most recent game, he remains connected to us. He is still in touch since he puts forth a lot of effort every day.
