Returning to Sunderland
Reinildo is heading back to Sunderland after being eliminated from the AFCON with Mozambique, but he's unlikely to be available Wednesday after playing Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reinildo has ended his international duty at the AFCON with Mozambique and is now heading back to Sunderland. The defender will have only a few hours ahead of him before Wednesday's clash against Brentford, making him a doubt to even be in the squad. As a positive, he should be an option to start at Everton this weekend, while Trai Hume is expected to feature at left-back against Brentford.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could sign for Sunderland
Sunderland are interested in signing Reinildo, according to The Guardian.
ANALYSIS
Sunderland need to sign as many proven players as they can to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, and one would think that Reinildo fits that mold due to his experience at Atletico Madrid. The Black Cats have offered the 31-year-old left-back a two-year contract worth £65,000 a week following his release by Atletico Madrid. Reinildo is expected to listen to other offers, but the Sunderland move is certainly appealing from a financial standpoint.
