Sunderland assess injuries after Lens win
Meunier impressed on debut, Hume starred on the right, Rigg changed the game off the bench, and Sunderland's 2-0 win at Lens hinted at a European away blueprint.
Sunderland want £9m for Anthony Patterson, a fee deterring Championship interest. Wrexham have turned to Ipswich's Alex Palmer, while Patterson's future at the Stadium of Light remains unclear.
Preston are keen to re-sign Sunderland's Alan Browne after his Middlesbrough loan, with Blackburn also interested. The 31-year-old has fallen out of favour and could leave permanently.
Sunderland cruised to a 2-0 win at Lens. Hume and Isidor scored, Rigg impressed off the bench, and Meunier made a solid debut. Hume was named man of the match.
Leo Hjelde looks set to leave Sunderland, with a sale agreed and a sell-on clause included, ending a spell that brought no Premier League appearance.
Ipswich have lodged a £14m bid for Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor, outbidding Hull. West Ham could offer more, while Sunderland may keep him given their Premier League and European commitments.
Le Bris said Mukiele, Alderete and Mundle have minor issues and could make the bench at Ipswich, but Adingra may be out longer. Sunderland beat Lens 2-0.
