Fofana is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford after taking part in training following his arrival from Lyon, according to coach Regis Le Bris. "Malick trained with us this morning - he looks at home with the group and he will give everything for Sunderland."
Analysis:Fofana has wasted little time integrating with his new teammates after completing his deadline-day move from Lyon. The 21-year-old's participation in training puts him in contention to make his Sunderland debut against Brentford, though it remains to be seen whether manager Regis Le Bris hands him an immediate start or introduces him from the bench. He should ultimately compete with Nilson Angulo for regular minutes on the left wing.
