ENZO LE FEE and Leo Hjelde both return to Sunderland's matchday squad for this lunchtime's Championship game at West Brom.
However, both of the returning players are named on the substitutes' bench, with Regis Le Bris having opted to stick with the same line-up that kicked off last weekend's home win over Millwall.
That means Alan Browne continuing as a makeshift right-back, with Trai Hume once again lining up on the opposite side of the back four. Hume scored Sunderland's winner against Millwall last weekend playing at left-back.
Luke O'Nien continues to partner Chris Mepham at the heart of the back four, with Hjelde on the bench as he returns from an Achilles injury.
Le Fee has been sidelined since early February because of a hamstring issue, but the Roma loanee is on the bench today as Le Bris eases him back into action.
Wilson Isidor gets the nod to continue in attack ahead of Eliezer Mayenda, with Tommy Watson also named amongst the replacements after this week's confirmation of his impending move to Brighton.
