Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris is reportedly considering up to seven changes for tonight's UEFA Europa League league phase match against Dinamo Zagreb at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats trained at the Academy of Light on Tuesday with Le Bris and first-team coach Jose Fonte overseeing preparations for the fourth matchday of the 2026/27 competition.
The potential wholesale rotation comes as Sunderland navigate a congested fixture schedule across domestic and European competitions. Le Bris has utilized squad depth throughout the campaign, and the visit of the Croatian champions presents an opportunity to rest key players while maintaining momentum in the Europa League.
Zagreb arrive in northeast England with a strong European pedigree, having regularly featured in Champions League group stages in recent seasons. The match kicks off at 8:00 PM GMT as both sides look to strengthen their positions in the new 36-team league phase format.
