What happened. Sunderland will be without Romaine Mundle and Habib Diarra for Saturday's Premier League game against Arsenal at the Stadium of Light. Both players suffered injuries in the win over Fulham, with Mundle out with a knee problem and Diarra still recovering from a hamstring issue.

• Le Bris said Mundle's knee injury is 'a shame' after a good pre-season.
• Diarra is expected to be sidelined until after the first international break.
• Sunderland are set to pick from the same squad as their last two matches.

“Romaine has a knee injury, which is a shame because he had a good pre-season.”

— Regis Le Bris

Sunderland host Arsenal on Saturday night, aiming to match or better last season's 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light.
