Omar Alderete

Alderete (concussion) was on the bench for Saturday's friendly against the USA and has cleared concussion protocol, according to Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo.

Alderete (concussion) is still following the protocols and won't be an option for Saturday's clash against Arsenal, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "He had to step back because of symptoms. It's not serious, but the protocol is strict. He won't be available this weekend."

Alderete (concussion) ultimately couldn't return in Monday's clash against Everton and will need to be assessed ahead of Saturday's clash against Arsenal, coach Regis Le Bris said in a press conference, according to Phil Smith from the Sunderland Echo. "We don't know yet [whether he'll be fit to face Arsenal], he had a residual symptom, so we have to assess his health."

Alderete (concussion) could be available for Monday's clash against Everton after getting better and training normally, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference. "He is getting better and he trained with the squad normally this morning."

Alderete is out for Saturday's match against Chelsea due to a concussion, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "Omar is under concussion protocols. We are hoping to have him back for the Everton fixture."
