Still unavailable against Leeds
Isidor (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Sunday's Premier League clash against Leeds United as he continues recovering from an unspecified injury.
Analysis: Isidor will miss another fixture Sunday after previously sitting out Sunderland's Premier League defeat against Bournemouth and Thursday's Europa League encounter against Lech Poznan. The forward recently resumed individual exercises on the grass but has yet to regain sufficient fitness to return to the matchday squad. His continued absence leaves Sunderland with fewer attacking options, although Brian Brobbey's return to the starting lineup provides a significant boost. Isidor's recovery timeline remains unclear, and he will need to make further progress in training before becoming available for selection.
Remains doubtful for Leeds clash
Isidor (undisclosed) remains a major doubt for Sunday's Premier League clash against Leeds United despite resuming individual work on the grass this week, according to Chris Fryatt of the Sunderland Echo.
Analysis: Isidor continues working toward a return to competitive action after missing Sunderland's last two matches due to an unspecified fitness issue. The forward was absent from Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat against Bournemouth before being left out of Thursday's Europa League squad against Lech Poznan, having failed to resume full team training. Although he has made progress by returning to outdoor exercises, his availability for Sunday's encounter against Leeds remains uncertain. Sunderland are hopeful he could recover sufficiently to earn a place on the bench, but his involvement will depend on how he responds to the final stages of his rehabilitation. With Brian Brobbey also expected to return against Leeds, Isidor could face additional competition for attacking minutes even if he receives medical clearance.
Not ready for Europa League
Isidor (undisclosed) isn't in the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Lech Poznan.
Analysis: Isidor was considered a major doubt for this contest, but the Haitian forward won't be an alternative. He's been doing individual training, so it remains to be seen when he'll be ready to play, with his next chance coming against Leeds United on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Major doubt for Thursday
Isidor (undisclosed) remains a major doubt for Thursday's Europa League match against Lech Poznan after doing only individual work in training Wednesday, according to head coach Regis Le Bris, per the Sunderland Echo. "We still have Thomas and Wilson and they are in a good place, we'll see if they can be ready soon."
Analysis: Isidor trained Wednesday but stuck to individual work and did not join the full session, leaving him a major doubt for Thursday's trip to Lech Poznan. coach Regis Le Bris said the forward is in a good place, though there is no firm timeline for his return.. The forward missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth, where Timur Tutierov made his Premier League debut in attack. With Brian Brobbey expected back against Leeds United on Sunday, Isidor could face competition for minutes once he is fit, and joining full training will be the next step toward his return.
Ruled out against Bournemouth
Isidor (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth after failing to recover from a minor injury sustained against Brighton.
Analysis: Isidor remains sidelined after picking up a knock during Sunderland's 2-0 defeat against Brighton, despite completing the full 90 minutes. The French striker subsequently missed Wednesday's training session and Thursday's Europa League victory over SCU Torreense, and he has now been ruled out against Bournemouth. Coach Regis Le Bris previously described the injury as minor, although no return date has been confirmed. With Brian Brobbey also unavailable, Timur Tutierov has been handed the starting role up front against Bournemouth, taking advantage of Sunderland's limited attacking options.
Major doubt for Bournemouth clash
Isidor (undisclosed) remains a major doubt for Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth after suffering a minor injury against Brighton, according to coach Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "Wilson got a minor injury, and we'll assess day by day, we don't know for Bournemouth."
Analysis: Isidor sustained a knock during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Brighton, despite completing the full 90 minutes as Sunderland's central striker. The French forward subsequently missed Wednesday's team training session and did not travel to Portugal for Thursday's 2-1 Europa League victory over SCU Torreense. Although manager Le Bris described the injury as minor, Isidor has yet to receive clearance to return, leaving his availability for Sunday's matchup uncertain. Brian Brobbey, who recently resumed training and traveled with the squad for the European fixture, could benefit from additional opportunities up front if Isidor remains sidelined. A final decision on the striker's involvement will depend on his progress over the coming days.
Doesn't play in Europa League
Isidor (undisclosed) didn't play in Thursday's 2-1 win over Torreense in the UEFA Europa League.
Analysis: Isidor didn't take part in Wednesday's session and was assessed before Thursday's game, but he didn't get the green light and wasn't even on the bench. The next few days will be critical to see whether the striker will be fit enough to face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.
Needs assessment after knock
Isidor did not take part in Wednesday's open training session and faces a late fitness test ahead of Thursday's Europa League match at SCU Torreense, according to coach Regis Le Bris per the Sunderland Echo. "We'll see for Wilson because he got a knock during the game against Brighton, so he needs to be assessed,"
Analysis: Isidor played the full 90 minutes as Sunderland's central striker against Brighton but sat out Wednesday's session, leaving his availability for SCU Torreense to a late assessment. Brian Brobbey has returned to training and travelled with the squad, though Regis Le Bris did not commit to using him, which leaves Sunderland short of options up front if Isidor misses out.
Hits post in 2-0 loss
Isidor generated two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Brighton.
Analysis: Isidor came in to start his first game of the season after Brian Brobbey picked up an injury in the international break. He had a busy game despite not finding the scoresheet. He had a first half effort hit the outside of the post. With just over half an hour to go, the forward was brought down by Pascal Strujik who was shown a red card.
Plays 89 minutes Sunday
Isidor (undisclosed) played 89 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Costa Rica, confirming he is fully fit after the apparent injury that forced him off in the 72nd minute of Thursday's win over the Dominican Republic.
Analysis: Isidor had scored twice in that match before the scare, and his near full match here removes any concern heading back to Sunderland. He has been limited mostly to substitute appearances at club level this season, with one goal in 117 Premier League minutes before the break, so this strong international window could help his push for more playing time.
Scores twice before injury
Isidor (undisclosed) scored two goals and was forced off in the 72nd minute with an apparent injury in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Dominican Republic, according to Haiti Tempo.
Analysis: Isidor had struggled for minutes at club level this season, limited mostly to substitute appearances across both Premier League and Europa League action, with just one goal in 117 minutes in the Premier League before this international break. This two goal performance marks a strong showing on the international stage, though the injury scare now adds some concern heading into his return to Sunderland.
Continues in bench role
Isidor recorded one tackle (one won) in Sunday's 5-3 defeat against Manchester City.
Analysis: Isidor has struggled for time this season, only starting in one UEL game while appearing from the bench in all five league appearances. This comes after he only started in 11 of his 32 appearances last season, netting six goals. He still has one goal this season in only 117 minutes of play, a decent ratio, although it will be tough to keep up that kind of consistency without regular time.
Nets in win
Isidor scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Fulham.
Analysis: Isidor proved to be the difference-maker during Sunday's nailbiter. Neither team could make a quick breakthrough, but Isidor was good enough to be the difference. In the end his goal was crucial and earned a massive three points, giving him a perfect platform to build on.
Signs new Sunderland deal
Isidor has signed a new contract with Sunderland through 2030, the club announced.
Analysis: Isidor has committed his long-term future to Sunderland after recording 19 goals across 82 appearances since initially joining on loan from Zenit in 2024. The 26-year-old finished last season in a substitute role and also began the new campaign on the bench, leaving him without a guaranteed place in the starting XI. However, Isidor should remain heavily involved in the attacking rotation and could work his way back into a starting role as the season progresses.
Nets incredible goal
Isidor scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 4-2 loss versus Morocco.
Analysis: Isidor finished clinically with his only shot on target to score from an xG of just 0.03, assisted by Jean-Kevin Duverne. Isidor made the most of limited service, completing all three of his passes and contributing defensively with a clearance, a tackle and an interception before making way in the 67th minute after a notable all-round performance.
Scores goal of tournament
Isidor scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 4-2 loss against Morocco.
Analysis: Isidor put Haiti back in front in the 43rd minute, unleashing a stunning long-range strike that flew into the top-left corner past Bono, in what stood out as one of the best individual goals of the tournament so far. His effort came in a thrilling first half that saw the lead change hands three times before Morocco eventually pulled away to win 4-2 in Atlanta. Isidor's strike could not prevent Haiti's elimination, with the result confirming the end of their second-ever World Cup appearance after defeats to Scotland and Brazil.
Two shots from bench
Isidor recorded two shots (one on target) in Friday's 3-0 loss to Brazil.
Analysis: Isidor was not involved in the starting XI Friday but would still see the field, as the forward came on for 45 minutes in the loss. He would be tied for the highest amount of shots in the match for Haiti despite his late entrance, although only one was on target, a weak dribbler for an easy save. With Haiti likely to go all out for a World Cup goal in their finale following elimination and two straight games without a goal, Isidor will be a likely pick for the starting XI after being dropped against Brazil.
Neutralized in defeat
Isidor recorded two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Scotland.
Analysis: Isidor lacked aim from both inside and outside the box while seeing limited involvement despite his team's generation of offensive play over significant stretches of the game. The striker operated as part of a two-man front line alongside Frantzdy Pierrot but was subbed off after 76 minutes of play. The next chance for the Sunderland player to get back on track will come in a difficult meeting with Brazil's solid defense.
Set for Haiti attack
Isidor has been named in Haiti's World Cup squad as one of the key attacking options under coach Sebastien Migne, arriving at the tournament after a solid season with Sunderland in the Premier League.
Analysis: Isidor contributed six goals across 32 appearances including 11 starts this season, demonstrating the finishing instinct and physical presence that make him a genuine goal threat even in limited playing time. His pace, directness and ability to create danger in one-on-one situations give Haiti a dynamic attacking weapon capable of causing problems for any defensive unit, and his Premier League experience ensures he will not be overawed by the occasion of a first World Cup. For Haiti, Isidor represents one of the more dangerous attacking outlets available to manager Sebastien Migne, and his ability to impact matches from the bench as well as the starting lineup gives the coach flexibility in how he deploys his attacking resources against Brazil, Morocco and Scotland.
Finds back of net
Isidor scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 win against Everton.
Analysis: Isidor came on for only 13 minutes Sunday but still bagged a goal, scoring in the 81st minute to put the match to rest. The forward now has two goals in his past four appearances despite not starting in any of those games. He now has six goals this season in 31 appearances (11 starts).
