Sunderland boss Jack Ross has brought in five new signings so far in January.

Jack Ross has told the Chronicle that Jimmy Dunne, Lewis Morgan and Grant Leadbitter will all be in Sunderland’s squad tomorrow.

Sunderland are due to take on AFC Wimbledon at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, and some of Jack Ross’ new signings could be handed debuts.

The Black Cats were active in January, bringing in four new players, with Will Grigg’s move expected to be announced soon.

And Ross has suggested that although there are doubts over Kazaiah Sterling and Grigg being involved tomorrow, the rest of his additions may have a chance of featuring.

“Jimmy has already been in the squad and Lewis and Grant will certainly come in to the squad,” Ross revealed.

“Kazaiah only travelled late last night so we will see how he is this morning. Will still isn’t confirmed as a Sunderland player so that’s a very obvious one.”

Sunderland have brought in Grigg and Sterling in the hope of replacing Josh Maja, who departed for Bordeaux.

The Black Cats are currently in fifth place in the League One table, but they have at least two games in hand on every team above them.

Sunderland go into tomorrow’s game with AFC Wimbledon as heavy favourites to get the three points, as the away side currently sit at the bottom of the table, after a difficult season to date.
