Adil Aouchiche out for 3 Months

Adil Aouchiche was injured when he broke his toe in Sunderland's most recent game against Bournemouth. Jobe Bellingham is expected to replace him as the false 9 starter for the time being, but the club is anxiously anticipating the debut of 15 year old center-forward, Stanley Bailey, who will be eligible to play for the team as soon as he turns 16, and is the most highly touted prospect in the history of the club's academy.
