Doubtful for Ipswich opener
Meunier's availability for next Saturday's season opener against Ipswich is uncertain after he missed Saturday's 2-1 win over Rennes with back pain, according to coach Regis Le Bris. "Thomas has a knock - we don't know the full extent at the moment"
Analysis: Meunier's setback comes with the extent of the issue still undetermined, leaving his participation in next week's training sessions in question. The right back joined Sunderland as a free agent this summer after his spell at Lille, and this is the first fitness concern to emerge early in his time with the club. Meunier is expected to be given until close to kickoff to prove his fitness before a final call is made. Trai Hume could start at right-back if he is absent, with Nordi Mukiele another option if he is fit enough to start.
Misses final friendly with minor injury
Meunier (undisclosed) misses Saturday's final friendly against Rennes with a minor injury sustained in training, according to the club.
Analysis: Meunier made 25 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille last season, contributing one goal and two assists, before joining Sunderland as a free agent this summer following Belgium's quarterfinal exit at the World Cup. This minor setback is worth monitoring so soon after his arrival, and his path back to full training will be worth tracking as he prepares to begin his fifth different league with his new club at right back.
