Injury deemed severe

Brobbey has received further confirmation of a hamstring injury that could keep him sidelined for a few weeks, according to manager Xavi Hernandez, per Sportnieuws.NL. " But if you look at [Brian], he has a very severe hamstring injury. That is a typical example of overload."

Analysis: Brobbey has had some looming questions around him since his withdrawal from the Dutch national team, as it was clear he was injured in the hamstring, but the exact severity has yet to be announced. However, the initial looks continue to be grim as it appears the hamstring issue is severe and will at least keep him out for a few weeks, potentially missing a month of time. As Sunderland's starting forward, this will be a major blow, set to leave Malick Fofana and Wilson Isidor some chances at starting minutes. The major concern will be how Brobbey recovers, hoping no setbacks take place and he can return to his normal form once fit.

Concern forces NT withdrawal

Brobbey (hamstring) is believed to be dealing with a significant muscular injury and won't stay with the Netherlands' squad for the rest of the break, with coach Xavi confirming that "Brian, unfortunately, is injured and we will call up another striker," per Dan Bennett of Hayters.com.

Analysis: Brobbey will likely be assessed by Sunderland's medical staff in the coming days, hoping that he can make progress in his recovery before the return to club action. Still, it seems difficult for him to avoid a recovery period that would force him to miss a few games. Such situation is tough news for a player who scored a hat trick against Manchester City during his last league appearance. Wilson Isidor could serve as his replacement if required in upcoming club fixtures.
