Chris Rigg News: Back fit with Sunderland

Rigg (undisclosed) made his return from injury in Sunday's pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano, confirming he is back fit for Sunderland.

Rigg was suffering from a knock and didn't feature in any pre-season friendlies before Sunday, when he made his return and played 67 minutes against Rayo Vallecano. This is good news for coach Regis Le Bris since he will be an option in the midfield, although he is expected to hold a bench role heading into the 2025/26 season.
