Enzo Le Fee is looking to make his return ENZO! He’s expected to make Sunderland’s squad for their home match against West Bromwich Albion this weekend. The central midfielder was out of action for around six weeks. He was forced out of action after picking up a hamstring injury during a match against Hull City on February 22. His return could not come at a more important time for Sunderland who find themselves in a fight to stay in the Championship.
An international with the French U19s, Le Fee, who joined Sunderland on loan from Serie A’s Roma, has been an instant hit. Prior to his injury, he was the starter in every game since his arrival, reflecting his immediate impact to the midfield. Throughout his six month spell at Roma, he made just 10 appearances. His numbers indicate that he has the ability to be an overall game-changer on both sides of the ball. He averaged 4.28 progressive carries per 90 minutes, an impressive stat that showcases his ability to carry the ball forward. As a reference point, he averaged 2.67 carries into the final third per 90 minutes. He added 3.08 completed passes on average in that range, increasing Sunderland’s attacking flow.
The anticipation surrounding Le Fee’s return is palpable, with fans and teammates alike eager to see how his skills will enhance Sunderland’s performance in the coming matches. Regis Le Bris best position is central midfield. This dovetails nicely with Sunderland City Council’s requirements, as the club faces a make-or-break second half of the season.
“With Enzo, we will have another option, a different style of play, maybe different connections, maybe we can open the rotation of the midfield, for example.” – Regis Le Bris
Le Fee’s return not only adds depth to Sunderland’s squad but offers new tactical possibilities for head coach Regis Le Bris. The midfielder’s versatility and capacity to join the attack has promised to give Sunderland a new dynamic to their otherwise blunt attacking threat. His teammates absolutely felt his absence during his recovery. Now that he’s returned, they’re extremely excited to see the fruits of his talent pay off.
Le Fee’s loan switch to Sunderland proved to be one of the biggest name moves in the entire Championship window. This transfer illustrates the club’s ambition to improve their squad. Sunderland are looking forward to a crucial match with West Bromwich Albion. We think having Le Fee on board would really be a game changer for them.
