The midfielder has been out of action with an ankle injury.
Sunderland have a lot of injury problems, and one of those problems is Adnan Januzaj.
The winger picked up a knock in the 3-2 defeat against Crystal Palace which ruled him out for up to six weeks, and the Belgian has updated fans on his condition on his Instagram account.
The 21-year-old posted a video of him training in a gym, strengthening the ankle that he injured before the international break.
Januzaj joined Sunderland in the summer on loan from Manchester United, and has had a hit-and-miss start to life at the Stadium of Light, showing flashes of his brilliance without really delivering anything clinical in the final third, as well as picking up a silly red card for two bookings in the defeat against Tottenham.
While Januzaj’s injury was not met with mass tears from Sunderland fans, they will certainly be happy to see the attacker closing in on a return, with David Moyes’ squad being threadbare enough as it is.
Injuries have become the norm for the Black Cats, with Fabio Borini, Jan Kirchhoff, Lee Cattermole and Jason Denayer all ruled out to name a few.
That is just the beginning of the problems Sunderland currently have, with the club bottom of the Premier League without a win.
